I noticed 2 lines that were different that seems like when the livecd was created they had the source code for the vbox guest additions software for linux. The 2 lines are as follows, first from my created LFS and then from the LiveCD:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Unknown device 80ee:beef 00:04.0 System peripheral: Unknown device 80ee:cafe 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter 00:04.0 System peripheral: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Guest Service Notice VirtualBox Guest Service for the 2nd line under LiveCD boot. I will try your suggestions as well and let you know. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
