Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Tags: d-i I installed a clean Debian Wheezy 7.1. The installer correctly determined that it was running in a Virtualbox VM and installed the virtualbox guest additions. The problem is that the additions were not correctly installed. The kernel module wasn't built so the guest additions did not work.
I first had to install the build-essentials myself. Also, the installer installed the wrong kernel headers for my kernel. The debian installation came out running the -486 kernel but the installer installed the -686-pae kernel headers. IMHO if the debian installer installs the virtualbox guest additions, it should also build and load the kernel module.
