View source for Virtualbox startup error

Problem description:

I received a message similar to the following after a gentoo update. It is related to a kernel module called '''vboxnetflt'''

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND)

Solution:  

load the kernel module: 
  modprobe vboxnetflt


to load automatically on boot, add the module name to the appropriate line in '''/etc/conf.d/modules''' 

  example, add module name to the line ...
    modules="vboxnetflt vboxdrv"
