IT WORKED GREAT!! ( This comment to state all went well on reboot since I could not show the reboot)

4.19.72-gentoo

Today, I wanted to repair an issue with virtualbox modules getting an error when they were loaded "exec format error'. Time to upgrade the kernel. Reinstalling modules and rebooting did no good. This did fix everything after I rebuilt the kernel, and the kernel needed upgraded anyway.

It has been a long time since I upgraded the kernel, and Virtualbox is broken. This video walks you through the simple steps to get your kernel simply upgraded without too much fuss.
