guest additions

Just a quick post really to save you some time-as it stands the guest additions for Solaris 10 are broken with Virtual Box 4.1.0. When I tried to install them in my Solaris 10 U9 guest, everything worked until the vboxsf module should have been loaded. The output from dmsg is as follows:

Aug 30 18:45:33 unknown genunix: [ID 819705 kern.notice] /usr/kernel/fs/amd64/vboxfs: undefined symbol
Aug 30 18:45:33 unknown genunix: [ID 819705 kern.notice] /usr/kernel/fs/amd64/vboxfs: undefined symbol
Aug 30 18:45:33 unknown genunix: [ID 819705 kern.notice] /usr/kernel/fs/amd64/vboxfs: undefined symbol
Aug 30 18:45:33 unknown genunix: [ID 472681 kern.notice] WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'vboxfs'

I’m running Virtual Box 4.1 on Windows 7. When I tried to check for updates the application returned “you are already running the current version”. However, checking the Downloads section of the website I found 4.1.2-which I’m trying now.

The workaround for 4.1.0 is to install older guest additions, see http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=43212 for more detail.
