Before doing the upgrade it would probably be best to run service vboxheadless stop ; service vboxnet stop ; service vboxwatchdog stop ; service vboxwebsrv stop That should unload the vbox 4 kernel modules. Check with kldstat and try to manually unload any remaining modules prior to trying vbox 5. > After getting the new kernel module loaded, update the Guest Additions > in the VMs. Thanks, Gary _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
