I've been searching around for like 3-4 hours looking for someone with the same problem I'm having and i havent found one so now im making a thread.
The error im getting when i start virtual box is
Loading modules: modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxnetadp not found in directory /lib/modules/4.1.0-1-mainline
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxnetflt not found in directory /lib/modules/4.1.0-1-mainline
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxpci not found in directory /lib/modules/4.1.0-1-mainline
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.1.0-1-mainline
uname -r outputs
4.1.0-1-mainline
pacman -Q linux linux-headers outputs
linux 4.6.3-1
linux-headers 4.6.3-1
Thanks for the help. I'm trying to get genymotion working on arch.

You seem to be running a very old kernel. Fix that.

I'm running arch on a custom one because im using an asus x205ta. So I can't without breaking the internet and like 5 other things. Is there any other way to fix this vbox issue?

Sure, build the modules for the kernel you're running.

Can you explain more in depth please?

Thats what i used to install all of this and i dont see where it says how to manually recompile them so they work with my system. All it says is that it does it automatically.

for linux kernel choose virtualbox-host-modules-arch
for other kernels choose virtualbox-host-dkms
would mine be linux or other because its modified?

You want DKMS and rebuild that against your custom kernel. The "linux kernel" version is for stock kernels, i.e. not yours.
Edit: And the longer you keep using an old kernel the more likely things are going to break. You should find a solution that keeps your kernel relatively new. Because if not, someday it's going to bite you in the butt.

I changed to the right one and got this
==> No kernel 4.2.0-rc5-X205TA modules. You must install them to use DKMS!
==> No kernel 4.4.14-1-lts modules. You must install them to use DKMS!
Also i tried to rebuild and it says it doesnt exist.

This seems to be a "A then B" problem. You must have kernel A so your trying to shove in solution B. Why do you need kernel A? Partial upgrades are not supported for a very good reason under Arch, things break, things behave oddly - and are hard to track down. Seriously, if you can't keep your system up-to-date then, said without malice, Arch might not be the best choice.

if i could put windows back on this laptop i would but the way that i had to install arch im stuck with it so i dont really have a choice tbh.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this issue with the modules not being found?
