hi all,
i installed virtualbox following advices in previus treads. it's working ok, but
my problem is that modprobe don't seem to be presistant i.e i need to
run "modprobe vboxdrv" as root every time i restart. is there any way to
make it load the module automatically?

thanks,

Alon

Modules listed in /etc/modules will be modprobe'd automatically
at boot.

Cheers,

# try to insert module but do not fail if not possible
if [ "$LOAD_VBOXDRV_MODULE" = 1 ]; then
/sbin/modprobe -q vboxdrv || true
fi
