After upgrade when I log in, I have message pop-up on to right hand screen:

"VboxClient: the virtualbox kernel service is not running.  Exiting"

Anybody know what it is or how to fix it?  There are various posts about it  
but non of them apply to Gentoo installation.

The drivers seems to be loaded.

  lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetflt             28672  0
vboxnetadp             28672  0
vboxdrv               421888  2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt


Is this a vbox upgrade or a kernel upgrade? If it's a kernel upgrade, I always 
force a re-emerge of the modules.

Cheers,

It was a virtualbox upgrade (not kernel), the notification is on Gentoo host 
system running VM.

I might be related to "app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions"
Unmerging this package solved the problem, no more pop-up at login.
