Failed to load kernel modules, I was trying to set up virtual machine when this massacre happened

I was making virtual machine using the virtual box, of opensuse. I had installed a new kernel linux59-rt because the linux59 was not supported by the virtual box.

This is not where the problem came, I did not remove the old kernel.
I was following the manjaro wiki and for some reason sudo vboxreload was not working.
I booted again and changed the kernel to the linux59-rt and then I ran this command

sudo mod something when the screen got stuck, I had to turn off using the power button and when I started again I got cannot load kernel modules.

Hi @zuuks666,

  1. I’ve been there as well, but there is hardly any reason to switch off your computer like that. And apparently it includes system freezes. Please see [HowTo] reboot / turn off your frozen computer: REISUB/REISUO for more information.
  2. Kernel version 5.9 is EOL. I don’t know about the RT version, though. However, I highly doubt an RT version is necessary as I have a normal kernel version, always have, and virtualbox worked fine when I used it.
  3. More information will be needed if someone is to help, so please see How to provide good information

What module have you installed? Please post the output of:

pacman -Q | grep -e linux -e virtualbox

EDIT: if you can’t boot, then boot from a live iso and chroot into the installed system.
