Running 4.3.12 on Windows 7 host with a Fedora 20 guest.
Each time that I get a kernel update from Fedora, the guest additions stops working.
I have to reinstall them or at least run /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup.
But I have DKMS installed as well as the kernel devel etc. I'm using Yum Extender and it seems that everything is installed correctly.
Is there some know problem with DKMS and Fedora 20?

Re: Fedora kernel updates breaks VirtualBox Addtions
I guess that explains why I have to reinstall the GAs as well. Just about every distro I've used talks about not using a repo outside their own. Rules were meant to be broken I suppose.
