I'm running the linux-3.4.7-1 kenel and plan to upgrade to linux-3.4.8-1 next time I run pacman. Do I need to do anything special to rebuild the Virtualbox kenel module, or can I simply run pacman -Syu ?
I checked the wiki and it only makes mention of custom kernels. Something must be taking care of the Virtualbox kenel modules for everyone running stock stuff.

# pacman -S virtualbox-modules
Don't use virtualbox-bin from the AUR. That's the Oracle-compiled binary kept only for comparison against the one in [community].
# pacman -R virtualbox-bin
# pacman -Syu virtualbox

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Thanks. I have virtualbox-modules already installed and I am running virtualbox from the community repo. Does that mean all I need to to is pacman -Syu and the virtualbox modules will automatically play nice with the newer kernel?

you don't have to do anything than pacman -Syu. We provide virtualbox-modules that includes the modules compiled against the stock kernel (linux)
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

That worked. Thank you
