Description Rodrigo Severo 2007-08-15 18:26:43 UTC
After a series of tests I'm migrating the forum thread <http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4189237.html> to this bug.

I have installed VirtualBox in an amd64 box completely updated (kernel 2.6.21-gentoo-r4).

I have two virtual machines on virtualbox-bin 1.4.0: one created with vmware and another created on virtualbox itself.

I can't run any of them. Both give me the same error on startup:

--------------------------------------------------
Code:
Unable do load R3 module 0.

VBox status code: -102 (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

Result Code: 0x80004005
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753041930b909-22330f64ec45}
--------------------------------------------------

The test that made me bring here this issue as a bug is that I installed virtualbox (in place of virtualbox-bin) and it's working fine. I believe this rules out any idiosyncracies of my system.

Going back to virtualbox-bin makes the problem reappear.

The problem is that I need virtualbox-bin as there as features only available on tne -bin version that I need.

Yup but the fun thing about bin pkgs is:
we can't do anything about it

though when you ask on freenode in #vbox nicely, you might get help
