Updating to RHEL 6.4 - Failed to load module vboxvideo
Posted: 28. Mar 2013, 04:49
After an update of my VM from RHEL 6.3 to RHEL 6.4 the VM hangs in the login window.
(this is Virtual Box 4.2.10 r84104)
With the help of another topic @ virtualbox (CentOS-6.4 x86_64: Vbox additions fails to compile) I was at least able to get in some console mode.
By doing the key command CTRL+ALT+F2 and login in the console.
I did debug the log files and in the Xorg.0.log there is an error:
Failed to load module vboxvideo ...
=> Fatal server error.
What can I do to resolve that issue? I basically don't understand those instructions with the proposed fix, as my GuestAdditions are already installed, so what can I "patch" here at all ?!
By commenting out the Xorg.conf file in /etc/... I was able to get the login screen and login in the user interface. However, a lot of the functionalities of virtual box do not work and I guess the reason is the above error.
In fact I can't really work with that VM anymore, screen resolution does not work correctly, Guest additions do not work, some of the device settings are disabled in the machine settings...
This is a screenshot of the part of the log file (see attached screenshot)
