After seeing bug #548404 I decided to run: USE="pax_kernel" emerge =app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.0.10 and it returned the same error. Thanks for your time, Brenton
Is your kernel source actually compiled or are you attempting to use the hosts kernel?
I'm using the host's kernel. Guessing that would be the root of this problem?
(In reply to Brenton Horne from comment #2) > I'm using the host's kernel. Guessing that would be the root of this problem? yes it would be.
