RHEL6 and 7 unable to load vboxsf

Post by Technologov »

Host: VBox 6.0.0-BETA2 + Win7 x64.

Both (64-bit) RHEL6 and RHEL7 fail to load module "vboxsf" after GA install.

Please ZIP your logs. You should know better by now... ;)
And the log that's more important is the "/var/log/vboxadd-setup.log" from the guest.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

I have attached logs. No need to ZIP.

Yeah, but how do I get one without vboxsf working ? Settings up SAMBA or Gmail is way too much effort for a VM that will be destroyed shortly.
Anyway the output visible from screenshot is good enough to point directly to the problem.

No, you will ZIP your logs, or they will be removed. The server has had issues in the past, that's why we want them ZIPPED. We can't ask first time users to follow the rules you disregarding them, right?

As for the vboxadd-setup.log, take a look at it in the guest. Tell us the important things if it's too difficult to pass it through an OCR engine. Try http://www.newocr.com/

What is the problem with logs on the server, again ?
Do you think a modern 12 TB HDD is gonna be filled by 128 KB logs? or 512 KB logs? Please stop joking.

I have asked nicely to *upgrade* upload capacity to 512 KB. Come on, it should be doable. Heck, I can *donate* a 12 TB HDD if Oracle feels like it needs a donation :)
My time (zipping/unzipping) is worth *way* more than big HDD.
