The problem is kernel itself that has no USB support, so what you have to do is to configure kernel with USB support enabled, but than the kernel module vboxdrv has to be recompiled too. The current kernel is 2.6.18.8-0.5-default. You should update that and sources first. If you have problem to boot with default boot option, use new entry instead, and post that here. The rest should be explained, but right now I'm going to try this one: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ home:/dirkmueller/openSUSE_10.2/i586/ virtualbox-20070822-8.1.i586.rpm and virtualbox-kmp-default-20070822_2.6.18.2_34-8.1.i586.rpm Which so far works with small glitch, it doesn't list iso files and I had to paste and copy the name using another file manager. BTW, VirtualBox-kmp-default-1.4.0_2.6.18.2_34-20.1.i586.rpm has an error in post install script and the only way to get rid of it is rpm -e --noscripts VirtualBox-kmp-default but it can easily remove installed vboxdrv. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
