Bug ID: 224616
Summary: emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions does not detect PAE
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)

I could not get my PAE-using VBox guest to load vboxguest-module properly --
and, consequently, could not get X to work, etcaetera -- until I added -DPAE to
the CFLAGS and rebuilt it.
Maybe, it should be the port's option (or flavor?). Maybe, the port needs to be
split into "common" part -- which does not depend on the kernel flags -- and
the kernel-modules part, which needs to be built differently for PAE-kernels.
At the very least, a load-time detection of PAE-kernel needs to be implemented
so the user gets an actionable hint as to what to do, instead of the
incomprehensible "vgdrvFreeBSDAddIRQ failed" followed by "vboxguest0 attach
returned 6".
Not even Google knows, what to do about these, although my filing this ticket
may help :-) ...
