Hello Martin

I've built it on i386/CURRENT r191522, but I couldn't load the
module, when i try, i got:

KLD vboxdrv.ko: depends on kernel - not available
kldload: can't load vboxdrv: File exists

It says file exists, but the module is not loaded

root_at_botelhor:/home/garga# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   18 0xc0400000 b584bc   kernel
 2    1 0xc0f59000 809c     snd_via8233.ko
 3    2 0xc0f62000 4a438    sound.ko
 4    1 0xc46af000 8000     linprocfs.ko
 5    1 0xc46c8000 24000    linux.ko

Any idea?
