Hi there,
I'm using a gentoo-guest inside a virtual box on a Win10 host. The last
somewhat working combination was kernel 4.4.39/virtualbox-5.1.24.
When I update to kernel 4.12.12, the X-Server does not work anymore (I've also
tried with 4.9.xx, same result -- no X)
I used genkernel to compile the kernel, copied the previous 4.4.39-config from
/proc/config.gz to /usr/src/linux-4.12.12-gentoo via zcat, and did no further
changes; so nothing relevant should be changed, at least to my knowledge.
After compilation of the kernel, required packages have been re-emerged:
- app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions
- x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox
Booting with 4.12.12:
- sddm crashes with segfaults
- Starting X from the command line: X complains missing EGL_MESA_drm
EGL_MESA_drm_image required.
: CommandLine Error: Option 'asan-instrument-assembly' registered more than
once!
LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options
[??? No idea where this comes from :-( ]

Booting old 4.4.39 kernel [Just select old kernel in grub]
- sddm shows login screen
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows lots of lines regarding VBoxVideo driver.
- dmesg does not show the vboxvideo line from above
Obviously, something is going terribly wrong here, and I'm getting stuck as I
do not have any Idea where to start. The only thing that changed is a kernel
upgrade and a rebuild of the virtual box modules.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
