hi List,
I've upgraded to kernel 2.6.32 and virtual box dosn't work.
I looked at the wiki re the various methods of upgrading the driver:

Any help appreciated.
Richard, I can confirm that after the latest kernel update, VirtualBox is dead. You were lucky, after I started vb, and small dialog appeared saying "spawning" and then my box locked. I was able to grab a screenshot before the box blackscreened: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/vbspawn800.jpg fullsized: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/vbspawn.jpg I had to power-off the box to shutdown. Another (possibly related) issue is that X is now consuming 75-90% of my CPU. Something is not right. Here is the top screenshot showing the behavior: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/X84-90percent.jpg -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
