Hi, I'm running XP SP2 on Vbox, to handle an iPad2 by iTunes via USB cable. I already had issues in the past, but after an Arch update today sync, recovery, any similar operation doesn't work anymore, regarding to USB issues. I didn't update Arch and sync an iPad by Vbox/iTunes for a long time.

Guys, I just updated virtualbox-bin from aur to 4.1.16 and I'm confused by the drop of the /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv init script. After building and installing the package I received the warning: ==> **Warning** ==> This version drop vboxdrv initscript. ==> Please change to dkms instead of vboxdrv

Hell, I just got enough of this and installed the virtualbox modules directly from the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso, which is mounted by virtualbox when you say that it should install the guest additions. And now at least it works! Based on http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp5801200 # pacman
