Bug#542209: virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.30-1-686: Blank screen with 2.6.30 kernel + 2.6.30 ose-guest-modules
Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.30-1-686
Version: 2.6.30+3.0.2-dfsg-3
Severity: normal
I have a lenny (amd64) machine running lenny's
virtualbox-ose (1.6.6.-dfsg-3)
I track squeeze in one of the VMs
(I'm running reportbug in that VM).
Today the kernel upgraded to 2.6.30.
After reboot the console was blank (and remained text console size;
normally it resizes to "X11 size" and gdm appears).
However, I can ssh into the machine fine
which appears to be functional otherwise.
No EE lines in Xorg log. Since I normally
run with the guest additions I assumed this
needed updating to the new kernel. Nothing
in sqeeze yet so I tried installing the
2.6.30 guest additions from sid. But no improvement.
Sorry if this isn't a very useful bug report:
I don't know if things would work better on a
more modern vbox than lenny's, or whether it's
actually a kernel or X problem (I should back out
the guest additions completely and try that).
Seems like something that could potentially cause
some other people out there some grief too though.
