[Lancaster] installs on virtual box

[Wayne Ward]

Hi jonathan i did this on my macbook in virtualbox

it sounds to me like the upgrade isnt upgrading the module properly
I would look at a emerge removal with a purge then go and check it has  
removed the module and other items
them re-emerge it - its sounds like the old module is lurking.......
