    VirtualBox 2.0

    I didn’t think about loading a kernel module. You’ve saved me time. Thanks.

    Was missing the modules, so I ran the VBoxLinuxAdditions-*.run file another 2 times and then it worked great,

    thanks, cheers!

    Only one comment – it’s not the operating system (eg SuSE vs Ubuntu) that’s important here – it’s the Linux kernel version. It would be nice if you mentioned the kernel version, above.

    I had a similar problem after my vbox did an update – I had to reinstall vboxadditions using the auto install. After that, it worked fine again
