.... nvida-driver
or
kernel update?

Having problem installing

x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers#3.7.0-sabayon
or
app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.4#3.7.0

I would have liked to check the forum if the issue is known. But the forum search tells me that all these words are too common :?: :?: :?:

Use DuckDuckGo (it doesn't bubble you or track you, and is an excellent search engine) and enter the text you want to find, followed by site:forum.sabayon.org in the search box, like so:

"wrong checksum" site:forum.sabayon.org

You still need to use common sense and have some Google foo, though.
