I have just installed Version 4.0.8 on top with --force. It didn't recompile DKMS, and the splash screen still shows 4.0.6.
I have usb working in VirtualBox. I uninstalled everything shown by "rpm -qa|grep -i virtual". I then installed VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.8_71778_mdv2010.0-1.i586.rpm downloaded from the VirtualBox website. When I tried starting it from a konsole, there was an error message regarding libcrypto, so I created a symlink in /usr/lib with libcrypto.so.0.9.8 -> libcrypto.so.1.0.0 I then installed the extension pack for 4.0.8. After that, in a guest xp session, the usb devices were shown, but were grayed out. Don't forget to install the updated guest additions in the guest. After some debugging, I found that creating ... $ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/virtualbox.conf /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/linux.x86 and running ldconfig, after restarting VirtualBox, the usb devices were accessible.
