Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 4.0.2-dfsg-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/virtualbox/VBox.sh
Hello VirtualBox ships a PCNet boot rom (supposedly based on Etherboot) but the e1000 boot rom is only available in non-free extpack. Debian already includes Etherboot roms for e1000 used with qemu and kvm, and there are newer roms which can be built from gPXE. However, there is no documentation on installing roms in VirtualBox. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (395, 'experimental'), (300, 'stable-i386'), (300, 'oldstable'), (280, 'testing-i386'), (270, 'unstable-i386'), (150, 'experimental-i386'), (65, 'oldstable-i386') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-r600fence-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages virtualbox-ose depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcurl3 7.21.3-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-10 GCC support library ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpython2.6 2.6.6-8+b1 Shared Python runtime library (ver ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.14-6.1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-4 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.6-20110125-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvncserver0 0.9.7-2+b1 API to write one's own vnc server ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.11-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxmu6 2:1.1.0-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze5 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-central 0.6.16+nmu1 register and build utility for Pyt ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages virtualbox-ose recommends: ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.10-3 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libqt4-opengl 4:4.6.3-4 Qt 4 OpenGL module ii virtualbox-ose-dkms 4.0.2-dfsg-1 x86 virtualization solution - kern ii virtualbox-ose-qt 4.0.2-dfsg-1 x86 virtualization solution - Qt b Versions of packages virtualbox-ose suggests: ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libpulse0 0.9.21-3+b1 PulseAudio client libraries ii vde2 2.2.3-3 Virtual Distributed Ethernet ii virtualbox-guest-additions 3.2.10-1 guest additions iso image for Virt -- debconf information: * virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
