I'm running a Gentoo server that is headless.  Kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r8.

I emerged 'virtualbox-bin' which also grabbed 'virtualbox-modules'.
Once that was all done, I modprobe vboxdrv and then went about
creating my machine.  I followed the instructions on page 73 of the
user manual.  When I got to the point to start the machine I get the
following.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ vboxvrdp -startvm "Windows XP Professional"
VirtualBox VRDP Headless Interface

Error: failed to start machine. Error message: Unable to load R3
module /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxDD.
VBox status code: -102 (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)


However if I try and start it like this, it appears to work.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ vboxmanage startvm "Windows XP Professional" -type vrdp
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.4.0

Waiting for the remote session to open...
Remote session has been successfully opened.


However looking at 'vboxmanage list vms' still shows the machine
powered off. So I guess I'm back to the same thing. But the command
above in the manual says its the same as the 'vboxvrdp -startvm
"Windows XP Professional" but will not log vboxvrdp logs to the
console if needed.

I tried to hit my machine using windows rdp client to see if by chance
it was running and no joy.


Can someone please point me in the right direction on getting this to work?

TIA
Chris
