Failed to lookup alias 'fuse' / 'vboxdrv': Function not implemented

Hello,

a few days ago I updated my kernel from version 3.13.5-1 to 3.13.6-1 and was not able to boot my system anymore. It was freezing at the graphical interface target. After looking into "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service" I was able to figure out that there were some problems while loading the kernel modules "fuse" and "vboxdrv". So I decided to downgrade and wait for the next kernel version. Downgrading fixed the problem and I was able to boot my system normally. Today I tried version 3.13.7-1 but with the same result, so I am posting my error messages as I currently have no idea how to solve them.

Running "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service" gives me following output:

systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2014-03-26 12:23:23 CET; 18min ago

Running "journalctl -b _PID=108" gives me following output:

Mar 26 12:23:24 Thinkpad-T400 systemd-modules-load[108]: Failed to lookup alias 'vboxdrv': Function not implemented

Looking into "/etc/modules-load.d" with "ls -l" gives following output:

total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Mar 19 17:25 modules-load.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8 Mar 19 17:25 virtualbox.conf

Looking into "/etc/modules-load.d/modules-load.conf" with "cat" gives following output:

fuse

Looking into "/etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf" with "cat" gives following output:

vboxdrv

Any help with this error is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Re: Failed to lookup alias 'fuse' / 'vboxdrv': Function not implemented

Hello again,
as I was not able to solve this issue and it still persists with the newest kernel 3.14.1-1, I'm writing again.
Does anybody know what could be a possible issue for this?
I'm more than happy to provide further information if needed.
Kind regards
David

Re: Failed to lookup alias 'fuse' / 'vboxdrv': Function not implemented

Double-check that you are really booting with the updated kernel (uname -a). Then try to modprobe fuse and vboxdrv manually and see if you get more info (use the verbose switch).
