Roger, They may be being compiled every time.... On Arch, I have to disable vboxadd or it will repeatedly recompile the modules on shutdown/reboot -- it may do it on start to -- but I run the guests --headless across a LAN. I have gotten to the point I leave vboxadd disable and after a kernel update just use systemcl start vboxadd to let it run once to recompile the guest modules (it actually compiles them twice because it will recompile if I stop vboxadd or when vboxadd is stopped by systemd on reboot or shutdown. I leave the vboxadd-service enabled and it doesn't seem to cause any issues. -- David C.
