Linux Guest Additions fails to install on beta3

[TechieSponge]

I am having trouble running VBoxLinuxAdditions due to a reported "Error in MD5 checksums." I followed the instructions on running this as root using the command>

Code: Select all

sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

The version of the iso mounted is VBOXADDITIONS_1.5.51_27924, and I am running CentOS 5.1 as the guest OS.

Thanks for any clues on getting this up & running.

That's strange. The VirtualBox dmg-Image is checked when it gets extracted and mounted, so a download error is unlikely. I don't know how an "Error in MD5 checksums." can occur.
Maybe you try to download it again or you use the iso-File that is included in the Linux-Version of VirtualBox.
