Hmm, my first guess is that your system isn't autoloading the isofs module for some reason. That isn't a virtualbox issue, it has got to be something specific to your guest setup. When you do lsmod, does isofs show up in the output? If you modprobe isofs, can you then mount the guest additions? If yes, that explains why you couldn't mount it before, but it still doesn't explain why your guest didn't just autoload that module when you tried to mount the cdrom. Now that I think of it, maybe none of the vbox modules on your guest are getting autoloaded, even though they're there. What does this give you: cd /lib/modules/`uname -r` find . -name vbox* Greg -- web site: http://www.gregn.net gpg public key: http://www.gregn.net/pubkey.asc skype: gregn1 (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) If we haven't been in touch before, e-mail me before adding me to your contacts. -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-mana...@eu.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
