Hi,
arrgh! I just want to find a quick-start tutorial for
Virtualbox on Gentoo, but Google shows up loads of tutorials
for Gentoo in a Virtualbox. The Gentoo Wiki article's
"Usage" paragraph does not contain any usable information.
Does anybody have a hint for me?
I had similar problems when I used a version of Virtualbox which was
"too old" for my kernel.
I'd recommend using the very latest release of Virtualbox, e.g. 5.1.10,
although I had problems
with that on very recent kernels (4.9-rc*), so that I downgraded to
version 5.1.8.
Both version don't build/run correctly for these kernels without a
patch which I have posted on my bug report.
My patched version seems to be stable on my new kernel and Windows 10.
