Systemd-modules-load.service failed Load Kernel Modules

whatthe · 12 July 2023 10:34

When I boot or when I enter sudo systemctl --failed into terminal, I receive this error:

  UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION                
● systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed Load Kernel Modules

When I enter sudo journalctl -p 3 -xb in terminal, it tells me:

Jul 12 12:11:19 Robert systemd-modules-load[603]: Failed to insert module 'vboxdrv': Exec format error

I had just updated, and I got an error on an AUR package in the end. I believe the post transaction hooks were not triggered, but I am not sure if they got triggered or not.

I tried sudo systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service, reinstalling virtualbox, sudo mkinitcpio -P and sudo update -grub and reboot to try to solve this issue, to no avail.

Does anyone know how I can fix this error?

SOLVED: I deleted the old and obsolete initramfs from /, mkinitcpio -P already made new ones in /boot
then I updated grub.
