Module bus errors after update

I did a system update tonight and now I've got a problem.

The upgrade seemed to go fine, I didn't notice any issues, so I upgrated my virutalbox_bin from aur as well.

It exited with:

FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found

So I tried:

sudo modprobe vboxdrv

and got the same.

Then I rebooted and the boot messages don't look too good, can't find vboxdrv then below that a message saying Updating module dependencies..... This fails with a

/etc/rc.d/functions line 136: 4056 Bus error

It manages to boot, and I tried running depmod manually, but I also get a bus error here.

What's going on? What should I do next?

Thanks,
  Jeremy

Re: Module bus errors after update

I managed to insert the vboxdrv.ko using "insmod vboxdrv.ko" from /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/misc.
This works, and VirtualBox correctly uses the module and runs fine.

But, modprobe still fails.

The module is good, the path to the module looks right (matches uname -r).

I can't even find any helpful messages in /var/log/ or dmesg. 

Can someone give me a pointer?

Thanks,
  Jeremy

Could try rebuilding the module with vbox_build_module command to make sure module ok.

Re: Module bus errors after update

Thanks, but I've tried that. The module seems to be built correctly because it works when I load it with "insmod" and run VirtualBox.
