This might not be too relevant to OS X, since I am running Ubuntu, but I'll put it here for the record anyway, in case it is useful to someone: At some point when the virtualbox image wasn't working for me I recompiled the kernel module this way. I think that I did it after getting a more informa

William, Marshall, Have you tried recompiling the Virtualbox kernel headers? $ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup It also reloads the kernel module. I suppose that reasonably you should not have to do this immediately after an install but perhaps the install misses something subtle about the con

I tried increasing the video ram, and then also increasing the system ram, but no matter what this still crashes for me on OS X 10.4.11. I am still curious if anyone else running 10.4.11 sees this too. I suppose this is a sign I should finally upgrade that machine... -Marshall On Oct 27, 2:28

I've just been trying this on Ubuntu and had the same problem. Increasing the video ram in the virtual machine from 4 to 16 MB fixed it, and now it works. (At least, I'm pretty sure that was the change that fixed it.) On Fri, 2009-10-23 at 14:01 -0700, mhampton wrote: > I haven't tried it on Wind

I can't seem to get virtualbox 3.0.8 to work on my mac. Things work fine on my windows machine, I did a small test by adding the new biopython optional package and that worked well. I am curious if anyone else can get virtualbox to work on OS X 10.4, or if its something funny about my machine.

Instead of stripping Ubuntu, what about building up a minimal Debian? Any command-line skills used in development work would transfer over to a more-desktop oriented distribution based in Debian, such as Ubuntu. The "testing" distribution of Debian, despite the name, has always worked well for me
