[SOLVED] Virtualbox: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules( lts-Kernel).

Hello, yesterday i have update the lts-kernel , and when I start the system with this kernel occurs:

i think ther're a issue with virtualbox:

$ Journalctl -b 0

Re: [SOLVED] Virtualbox: Failed to start Load Kernel Modules( lts-Kernel).

the quickest workaround is rebuilding virtualbox-host-modules-lts from source.

Finally I found a workaround (maybe not the best solution):

$ sudo pacman -S virtualbox-host-dkms
$ sudo dkms install vboxhost/4.3.20
# systemctl enable dkms.service
