8143	Unable to compile VirtualBox kernel modules on 2.6.38 kernel => Fixed in SVN	alphazo		"4.0.2 was running fine on 2.6.36 kernel (ArchLinux). I switched to 2.6.38rc1 and when I try to recompile the kernel modules for my new kernel by doing ""sudo /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup"" it says [BUSY] forever. I waited more than 10 minutes on a i5 core but nothing happened.
