GAAH! IT'S BROKEN AGAAAIIINNNN!!
Thankfully, because of last time I had a better chance of figuring out what to do \o/
Assuming you are using VirtualBox-4.3.38, you will need to put this in your overlay under "app-emulation/virtualbox-modules/virtualbox-modules-4.3.38.ebuild"

Should be relatively easy to adapt it for other versions.
You don't need any of this with VirtualBox-5.1.6, but sadly that has its own set of problems and I've been unable to figure all of them out.
One big issue is that you need to disable CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS in your kernel config otherwise the kernel modules don't work after they've been emerged.
The other, and as-yet unfixed problem, is that VirtualBox segfaults on launch with e.g.
| Code: | | [ 1094.164306] VirtualBox[15991]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f3dcdc25fcd sp 00007ffd17c23b10 error 4 in libQt5DBusVBox.so.5[7f3dcdbed000+81000] |
and I don't know why.
(If anyone has any ideas on this, please tell me!!!) |

thank you.
Will give it a try.
Same problem here. I am using 4.3.40 and i like to continue with it due to the problems with VB 5.X. |

Yes, me too. But I think that the thread is related to stable (4.x) version of virtualbox.

| The 4.* version of Virtualbox doesn't work on that release of the kernel. At least not the ebuilds from the tree which is why I also upgraded virtualbox to 5.* |

Ah ok, I see now on virtualbox website VirtualBox 4.3.x is no longer supported!, sorry my fault I was convinced it was yet supported.
