[SOLVED] System completely jams

Hello,

My system completly jams whenever I launch a virtual machine in virtualbox-ose

I've followed every steps of http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vir … _.28OSE.29 roll

Sometimes I'm lucky and I can still move my mouse but I cannot do any actions & I get stuck with the following message:
Spawning Session @ 0%

Re: [SOLVED] System completely jams

Are your vbox modules loading?

$ lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetadp              4689  0 
vboxnetflt             11471  0 
vboxdrv              1724020  2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt

Re: [SOLVED] System completely jams

[will@sasoria ~]$ lsmod | grep vbox
vboxdrv               135347  0
[will@sasoria ~]$
is the result I get

All I did was as in the wiki
# pacman -S virtualbox-ose virtualbox-modules
# gpasswd -a will vboxusers
then I edited rc.conf for:
MODULES=(loop vboxdrv fuse ...)

and that's it

Do I have to manually add in rc.conf in modules vboxnetadp & vboxnetflt ?
If yes I'll edit the wiki page as well

No. They are loaded as needed.

Check http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753. Looks to be a known issue. Rebuilding the kernel modules appears to fix it.

Re: [SOLVED] System completely jams

And to rebuild the kernel for virtualbox as I googled I found I had to run as root:
#/usr/bin/vbox_build_module
then I get
[root@sasoria will]# /usr/bin/vbox_build_module
bash: /usr/bin/vbox_build_module: No such file or directory
[root@sasoria will]#

I'll ditch OSE and try PUEL lol but I think the wiki page specially the part for OSE need some more details for newbies

Re: [SOLVED] System completely jams

There are some discussions about this in [arch-general], but they are saying rebuilding virtualbox works with latest kernel 2.6.32.3
Virtualbox_bin works fine here though.

Re: [SOLVED] System completely jams

i'm using virtualbox_bin from aur, rebuilding works fine in 32.3 but running it still completely screws up the machine - complete hang

Same problem here.
Rebuild vbox module can't fix this issue, but it's work after remove and reinstall virtualbox_bin from AUR.

That worked for me as well. Any ideas why reinstalling was required to get VBox working and recompiling the kernel drivers is not enough?
