1 Hi,
2 after updating to virtualbox-4.0.8 I cannot start a vm anymore.
3
4 The following ebuilds are installed:
5 app-emulation/virtualbox-4.0.8
6 app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-4.0.8
7 app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-4.0.8
8 app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.0.8
9
10 The logs mention that symlinks are not permitted. /usr/lib64 is a
11 symlink to /usr/lib on my system.
12
13 / filesystem is ext4 on solid-state-drive mounted with default options.
14
15 lsmod:
16 vboxnetadp 4502 0
17 vboxnetflt 14541 0
18 vboxdrv 1745860 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
19
20 By the way stable virtualbox-3.2.12-r4 is able to run the vm.
