Hello all,

I'm running FredBSD 14.1 amd64 with a GENERIC kernel. I've installed 
VirtualBox from packages. But I can't load any of its kmod modules. When 
I try, I get a message:
     # kldload vboxdrv
     kldload: can't load vboxdrv: module already loaded or in kernel
     #
However, neither of those things is true:
     # kldstat -v|grep -i virtualbox
     #

Pkg info is below.

Any clues, please?
Thanks in advance,
     Graham
