            Bug ID: 295139
           Summary: After the vboxdrv.ko kernel module was loaded and
                    unloaded it can't be loaded again
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org

kldstat doesn't find vboxdrv.ko after it was loaded/unloaded:
> $ kldstat | grep vbox

However, kldload now says that this module is already in the kernel:
> $ sudo kldload /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko
> kldload: can't load /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko: module already loaded or in kernel

What makes it think that vboxdrv.ko is already in krnel?
