Make sure you have kernel26-headers installed and rebuild using the guest additions from community. "Guillermo Leira" <gleira@gleira.com> wrote:
I have just upgraded to this new kernel, and I have a "little" problem: I have an i686 Virtual Machine running under VirtualBox, on Windows XP. Since this upgrade, as soon as I enter my password, the system gets completely locked.
If I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, I can switch to tty1, but if I get back to login screen and try to login, the system locks immediately.
I'm using gnome and GDM. I've been trying to uninstall virtualbox-utilities, reinstall, etc, with no results.
I have managed to completely uninstall virtualbox guest-additions, and now I can login. After reinstalling guest-additions (the ones that come with VirtualBox, because the package in community does not seem to work very well, but this is another history), and some testing, I have discovered that I can login if I disable gdm in rc.conf and call it from the command line.
