Hi,
after updating to virtualbox-4.0.8 I cannot start a vm anymore.
The following ebuilds are installed:
app-emulation/virtualbox-4.0.8
app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-4.0.8
app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-4.0.8
app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.0.8
The logs mention that symlinks are not permitted. /usr/lib64 is a
symlink to /usr/lib on my system.
/ filesystem is ext4 on solid-state-drive mounted with default options.
lsmod:
vboxnetadp 4502 0
vboxnetflt 14541 0
vboxdrv 1745860 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
By the way stable virtualbox-3.2.12-r4 is able to run the vm.
