Well, I had to rebuild the package virtualbox-modules from ABS.

What I did was:

1. Add the --disable-hardening flag in virtualbox-modules PKGBUILD.

2. makepkg --nobuild

3. Remove the flag -DVBOX_WITH_HARDENING from the variable KFLAGS in
virtualbox-modules/src/VirtualBox-2.0.2/src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/linux/Makefile

4. makepkg --noextract -i

5. Reload the module (modprobe -vr vboxdrv && modprobe -v vboxdrv).

6. chmod 666 /dev/vboxdrv.

The last step is a bit ugly, but works. I don't know why am I not
allowed to use /dev/vboxdrv with 660 persmissions, even if I belong to
the vboxusers group.

I hope it works, please tell :)
