When trying to load either manually or with systemd's loader, loading fails with the message:

insmod /lib/modules/3.11.3-1-ARCH/extramodules/vboxdrv.ko.gz
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Invalid argument

Module file sizes are apparently correct and systemd's loader works fine with other kernel modules in my system.
This task depends upon

I am on testing and I didn't realize last night that the virtualbox update was pushed directly to community without going to testing first. Thus, this bug report doesn't really make sense because the modules were compiled against 3.11.2.

Instead, my problem shows there is an ABI change between 3.11.2 and 3.11.3 and therefore the virtualbox modules and probably others will need to be recompiled before 3.11.3 moves to core.
