[SOLVED] Failed to start kernel modules

Hi, i am using Arch as a host and on guest(using Virtual box) too i am using Arch only. however both are running fine with out any issues.

but while booting my host i am getting the error message "FAILED TO START KERNEL MOUDLES".which i am unable to clear.

here is the  out put of "systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service"

● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to start kernel modules

Why are you trying to load guest modules on the host?  They shouldn't even be installed.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to start kernel modules

have you tried to resolve it with a Pacman -Syu? this sounds like a partial upgrade scenario, as those modules should be built for each kernel

nice catch, Trilby, I didn't even notice that it was the host
