Perhaps a runtime check in debian/virtualbox-ose-source.files/rules is the better choice here? I let the experts decide. I don't see a reliable and simple way to implement this. But then I doubt it's worth the hassle and therefore just documented the problem in the README of the main package.

Uncommenting the mentioned makefile line works, but slows down the VM considerably. Are you 100% sure that the slowdown is caused by uncommenting that line in the Makefile? I guess if you don't uncomment this line then VBox will not work on you kernel. Please could you check Linux 2.6.29.1 and compare the performance with this line enabled and disabled as this version should work with both settings. Thank you! Frank -- Dr.-Ing.

Ok, I tested the Windows startup time with both configurations on vanilla 2.6.29.1 and there was no speed difference noticable. Sorry for the misinformation - one should always measure first and then speculate. Regards, Bastian signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
