OpenSolaris snv117 guest additions from SVN

Post by fam »

Just rebuilt from svn up - "Updated to revision 21369."

But when I run it, it still says 21206, even though all the "fixed in SVN" fixes seem to be fixed.

The unfixed problem is that the guest additions CD is showing up as 3.0.0_49315 and pkgadd is failing

Code: Select all

...
Configuring VirtualBox guest kernel module...
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: vboxguest
Warning: Driver (vboxguest) successfully added to system but failed to attach
Usage: kill [-l] [-n signum] [-s signame] job ...
   Or:job ...
killjob ...
[job ...
optionsjob ...
] -l [arg ...]
## Aborting due to attach failure.
The net effect is that some additions work (e.g., copy and paste) but not the seamless mouse pointer.

Is this a problem with the guest additions for snv117, or is there a magic incantation to get a newer set of guest additions from the SVN build?

Thanks
