I need to finish reading all responses to this thread, but through the automatic update checking the VB does, I notice there is another snapshot of 2.12 out. Dunno if it will fix the issue, but if I get time I'll try to build it with the AUR scripts and report back. Hello everyone, fist post to the mailling list here, hope I'm doing it right. About virtualbox crashing, I had the same problem, I decided to test it after seeing the posts here and indeed it crashed my box. It would just show the progress bar with spawning After rebuilding the virtualbox modules it started working fine again (I'm using virtualbox_bin from the AUR). Maybe this is why it works fine for people that change from virtualbox_ose to virtualbox_bin, the modules are automatically rebuilt upon install. I can confirm that rebuilding the VirtualBox modules works. This problem is interestingly similar to the aufs2 package which also started acting weirdly with 2.6.32.3 and works fine after a rebuild.

Re: [arch-general] Virtualbox with upgraded kernel
Dude look that deps, depends=('libxmu' 'gcc' 'make' 'kernel26-headers')
You need kernel26-headers, some issues about new kernel series [1].
And some comments about that (virtualbox bin) in [2].
