Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils Severity: normal I installed Debian as a guest OS in a VirtualBox VM. The host is running Debian squeeze amd64 (virtualbox-ose 3.2.10-dfsg-1). The guest is also Debian squeeze as of today.
I do a fairly small install (no tasks selected in the installer). For the initial setup I install dkms gnome-core mc evince bash-completion ntpdate file-roller gnome-utils gnome-themes eog vim software-center gdebi gedit-plugins gnome-media synaptic menu less desktop-base gnome-icon-theme sudo virtualbox-ose-guest-utils virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms gdm update-manager-gnome update-notifier, popularity-contest and their dependencies. Now for the problem. When I do this on amd64, I get a beautifully working VM with fully functional guest extensions. When I run exactly the same setup script on i386 VM runs, but the guest extensions do not. I see the same behavior as reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/594726 There are no /dev/vbox* devices on i386, but they are fine on amd64. I repeated the install procedure a couple of times and I always get a functional setup on amd64 and never in i386. BTW: ther kernel modules are built and loaded on i386, but no devices et created.
