It seems that the Makers of Virtualbox broke it on several distributions
by adding "hardening checks" that make it impossible to start Virtualbox
on a system that has symlinks in its library paths. BSD Users have
reported this, too:
http://www.nntpnews.info/showthread.php?t=19701327&pagenumber=
There is no configuration option or commandline flag available in
virtualbox which would disable these checks.
As you may have read before on the debian-knoppix list, this is not the
only problem with virtualbox nowadays. :-(
Actually, the best solution for me rught now seems to deinstall
virtualbox and use only kvm instead in future releases of Knoppix,
rather than downgrading to a very old version or patching the sources to
something that the authors of Virtualbox consider as "insecure".
Sorry, I have no workaround for this virtualbox bug.
