need help: Vbox 2.1 on kernel 2.6.28 and 2.6.29-rc1

[hades]

I have install vbox 2.1 on FC10 with kernel 2.6.28 .
the vbox works fine
I have the USB Brother FAX-2820 printer,and I can install the driver, but I can`t print from Vbox ,any one have the same problem?

when I try install the Vbox 2.1 on FC10 with kernel 2.6.27.7 ,anything works fine ,so I think that is the kernel problem, it is right?

and can the Vbox 2.1 install on kernel 2.6.29-rc1?

If I use the patch on kernel 2.6.28 , the fail info is the same with kernel 2.6.29-rc1

if I dont use the patch ,Vbox worksfine on kernel 2.6.28.

Now my problem is that Vbox 2.10 on kernel 2.6.28 can use USB printer to print anything.

Please post in that topic to ask the poster how to apply it. I don't know, as I don't run the rc kernel.
