Re: Kernel modules not loading at boot.

Make sure the modules exist, but first, make sure you really want to load both host- and guest-modules for VirtualBox.

Re: Kernel modules not loading at boot.

More importantly, the modules are built for a specific kernel version.  So if the kernel gets updated and the virtualbox modules get overlooked somehow, then they are not going to work.  You can always rebuild them with makepkg and ABS though.
