If yes, run module-rebuild (sys-kernel/module-rebuild) as root.

Hi I have the same problem however I have been able to start a machine from
the comand line,
~ VirtualBox -rmode sdl -startvm < name of your machine>
I also tried VirtualBox -rmode image -startvm < name of your machine>
but this gave the same unreadable screen.
The same results repeated with a new machine also.
Installing the guest additions has no effect.
Have not got around to investigating any further yet.
