Hi,

What is going on here?
You've updated your kernel, and you need to rebuild the modules, WHICH
DOES NOT HAPPEN BY DEFAULT.
So, set your default kernel to the currently running one, and "emerge
virtualbox-modules". If that doesn't work, in my case it was I over-rode
the default make options so
"EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPS = "" emerge virtualbox-modules"
and if that doesn't work, well, I'm out of ideas ...
Cheers,
