I recently ran `emerge -uDN'. Since then when booting or explicitly running `for m in vbox{drv,netadp,netflt}; do sudo modprobe $m; done' I receive the following error message.
Code:

WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/sound, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv (/lib/modules/2.6.39-gentoo-r3/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid module format
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/sound, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetadp (/lib/modules/2.6.39-gentoo-r3/misc/vboxnetadp.ko): Invalid module format
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/sound, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.39-gentoo-r3/misc/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format


This has unsurprisingly prevented me from using VirtualBox. I have searched the Internet for help with no success. I would appreciate any advice available.

have you updated your kernel recently? if so, run module-rebuild

Not that I recall but your suggestion did solve the problem, thank you.
