`[SOLVED] Modprobe vboxvideo/sf/guest error: modules.dep not found.
When, running Arch under a Virtualbox and having installed the virtualbox-archlinux-additions package, I try to "sudo modprobe -a vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo" to run I get the following error:
Could not load /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory.
This is a fresh isntall as you can see.
Any help or reasons as to why these happens?

The latest kernel is 3.1.8-1. I think you need to update first.

You have upgraded your kernel but not rebooted yet.
modprobe tries to find your the module directory of the currently running kernel which is not exists anymore. Reboot, and everything will work fine.

Sorry, I'm really ashamed haha. This has been obviously solved.
