The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox.
Whenever you update app-emulation/virtualbox *or* your kernel version,
you need to update app-emulation/virtualbox-modules as well. The
versions of those two packages have to be lock-step, and the latter
needs to be rebuilt whenever your kernel version changes, or else the
previously-built modules will not load.
Both are in my world file:
# grep virtualbox /var/lib/portage/world
app-emulation/virtualbox
app-emulation/virtualbox-modules
If you have already run virtualbox since the last reboot, you might need
to rmmod those modules to unload the older version. Then you can use
modprobe to load the new versions, without having to reboot.
