-* '''However, should multiple kernels already be installed''' - and the intention is to use Virtualbox with them as well - then it will be necessary to add the Virtualbox module to them in addition. To do so, simply select the desired kernel version at the boot screen and re-enter the modprobe command provided.
+'''However, should multiple kernels already be installed''' - and the intention is to use Virtualbox with them as well - then it will be necessary to add the Virtualbox module to them in addition. In order to add the Virtualbox module to an existing kernel:
+. Select the appropriate kernel at the bootup screen
+. Download the '''Virtualbox host utilities''' for that kernel. The syntax of the command to do so is:
+ sudo pacman -S linux[number]
+it will first be necessary to download and install the '''Virtualbox host utilities''' for the kernel(s) you wish to use Virtualbox with.
