After a fresh install of Netrunner Rolling 64 bit I installed the latest update pack. I have an HP G61 laptop with AMD CPU and it has ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 graphics. When I restarted the system I found it: “failed to start load kernel modules” but it seems it works well. I checked systemctl status the result is:

[steelmann@steelmannHPG61 ~]$ systemctl status systemd-modules-load

I’m not sure what I have to do. Did somebody meet similar problem?
Thank’s

Could you list the files in the /etc/modules-load.d/ directory?
Are you running the open-source (free) or the proprietary (non-free) drivers?

Hi AJSlye, you are always ready to help. Thank you. I afraid I put this topic on a wrong place between Frontier’s stuff.
There are three config files:
linux314-virtualbox-host-modules.conf
mhwd-gpu.conf
modules.conf
It seems to me except the first one they are empty.
I checked I’m running the open-source driver. As I know my video card doesn’t have support by ATI proprietary drivers.

Did you try to install virtualbox?
If so you will need to install these packages:
virtualbox
linux314-virtualbox-host-modules
virtualbox-ext-vnc

Yes, I installed virtualbox and it works well. The virtualbox-ext-vnc wasn’t installed, now I did it but nothing is changed.
I used “sudo pacman -S virtualbox” to install virtualbox. Of course I chose the correct host module which depends of my kernel. Did I something wrong? Can you tell me how to install virtualbox correctly?

Without CPU visualization enable the host module won’t load and is not needed.
Did you enable visualization for your CPU in the BIOS?
If CPU visualization is already enabled, could you then post the contents of /etc/modules-load.d/linux314-virtualbox-host-modules.conf file?
Here is the Manjaro wiki to follow:

Yes, visualization is enabled.
This is the contents of /etc/modules-load.d/linux314-virtualbox-host-modules.conf file:
vboxdrv
vboxnetadp
vboxnetflt
vboxpci
That’s all in the file.

…do I have to put it into the config file?
[hr]
journalctl -b is invalid argument,
[steelmann@steelmannHPG61 ~]$ journalctl
