Why would guest additions kernel modules build now??

Post by mickyjune26 »

I'm not complaining. I was able to build the guest additions kernel modules.

But I'm wondering...why didn't it work a few reboots ago? I didn't change anything...

Is there something that would require 2 reboots to work? ;-)
