I'm new to both Linux and vbox, so please correct me if I'm getting it wrong:
If I first mount the add-on's iso file in my CD/DVD device and start my
Mandriva session
(which, at this point, I haven't been able to fully install), I get:
FATAL: No bootable media found. System halted.
If, at this point, I go in the Devices menu and choose "install guest
additions",
nothing seems to happen.The user's guide mention that I first need to install
some packages (gnu compiler,
gnu make, etc) before mounting the add-on's iso file, but I'm not sure where to
get the right packages and where to install them.
Thanks for your help!

You must first install the guest add-on's on the guest.Without them, Windows
will not have the correctdriver for graphics, for physical disk drives, for
ethernet...etc.Charles-Philippe lajoie wrote:
Let me be a bit more specific.I can install Vbox 1.5.6 on Vista and also create
my virtual disk... everything runs smoothly. Howerver, when I "start" my first
session and put my installation DVD in, vbox detects and starts booting under
mandriva but crashes... i.e. I first get a black screen with only my mouse
pointer, and a few a minute or so, a blue screen saying that vista crashed for
a given reason... I don't even have time to read to whole 'cause it's already
rebooted. When vista is loaded, it says that it crashed and that the reason is
my ATI graphics Driver... I've looked up for up-to-date drivers, but it seems
like they're the latest.I've also tried version 1.5.4, but I get the same
error.I'm running Windows Vista (with SP1) on a LG-E300, Intel Core2 Duo T5450
1.66 GHz, 2 GB RAM and a 250 GB SATA hard drive.Has anyone ever run into the
same kind of problem?Any solutions?Thanks

Hi,windows vista crashes when I try installing my guest Mandriva One 2008
spring. When rebooting, vista reports that a problem occured with my ATI
Graphics Driver. I just bought my computer, and it looks like all my drivers
are up-to-date. Is Mandriva Spring not supported by Vbox?!? Any idea?Thanks
