Package: virtualbox-guest-dkms Version: 4.1.0-dfsg-2
Hello, I am using debian testing as guest in a virtualbox virtual machine, hosted on a windows 7 host (virtualbox version 4.1.2). I am using a higher resolution for the consoles, passing the argument GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768, in /etc/default/grub. The issue I have is that, at the point where the kernel module vboxvideo is loaded (as a component of the virtualbox X11 driver), the consoles are blanked and no longer display messages. this can be checked by Ctrl+Fn (1..6). Boot completes normally and if I switch to tty1 for extample, I can blindly log in and execute commands. The issue is always reproducible. Further information: - If I do NOT set a higher resolution (remove the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX argument), everything is normal. - If I use the iso-provided guest additions (4.1.2), I have the same issue. - This did not happen with the previous guest additions version (4.0.10) and returning to this version solves the issue. I am using Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy, kernel 3.0.0-1 and libc6 2.13-16.
