Bug#717791: debian-installer: virtualbox guest additions not installed correctly
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
I installed a clean Debian Wheezy 7.1. The installer correctly determined that it
was running in a Virtualbox VM and installed the virtualbox guest additions. The
problem is that the additions were not correctly installed. The kernel module wasn't
built so the guest additions did not work.
I first had to install the build-essentials myself. Also, the installer installed
the wrong kernel headers for my kernel. The debian installation came out running the
-486 kernel but the installer installed the -686-pae kernel headers.
IMHO if the debian installer installs the virtualbox guest additions, it should also
build and load the kernel module.
Kind regards,
Sander Marechal
