I think we're not communicating then. The file I sent you was /usr/src/linux.config in the VM. It's not a file that VB would run, but rather a kernel config you might use to build a kernel to make your VM boot. That of course assumes that the hardware model you built in VB matches mine. I renamed the file thinking you'd want to keep it referenced to me. you'd need to name it back to .config, put it in your /usr/src/linux, possibly run make oldconfig, and then check the file. If all that worked out you'd build the kernel as normal. If you want a specific VB file from my install let me know exactly which one and I can forward a copy of that. - Mark
