[Solved] Problem with kernel 3.4.7-1-ARCH and virtualbox

Hello guys. I'm having problems to run virtualbox.

I already compiled the modules for virtual box:

sudo dkms install vboxhost/4.1.18 -k 3.4.7-1-ARCH/x86
Module vboxhost/4.1.18 already installed on kernel 3.4.7-1-ARCH/x86

But when i try to run virtualbox always get:

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.4.6-1-ARCH) or it failed to
         load. Please reinstall the kernel module virtualbox-modules or
         if you don't use our stock kernel compile the modules with

           sudo /usr/bin/vboxbuild

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Obviously the version for  kernel is different, how to fix this?

After a kernel upgrade you'll have to reboot.
