[solved] Virtual Box

I have windows 7 installed in a virtual box. It worked perfectly. Then I upgraded my system to the lastest linux kernel. Now Virtual Box says that vboxdrv is not loaded so I can't boot windows.

When I did this:

[meskarune@Lychee ~]$ modprobe vboxdrv
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.pacsave, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.

I tried to see if I could update virtual box...but yaourt is not finding it. There is another topic on that here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=74843

should I try to update it manually and see if that helps? Is there something I need to do with the new kernel?

Re: [solved] Virtual Box

heh. ok now I feel dumb. Upgraded the package and saw the note:

"run vbox_build_module as root every time the kernel is upgraded"

now it works.
