It was compiled for a previous kernel. A solution is Add 3 to grub boot command line, so it boots to run level 3 . Login as root. zypper in kernel-desktop-devel mount /dev/cdrom /mnt cd /mnt sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-02/msg00279.html An upgrade/new install of VBox will also solve this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
