hi List,
I've upgraded to kernel 2.6.32 and virtual box dosn't work.
I looked at the wiki re the various methods of upgrading the driver:

Any help appreciated.
Richard,
I can confirm that after the latest kernel update, VirtualBox is dead. You were lucky, after I started vb, and small dialog appeared saying "spawning" and then my box locked. I was able to grab a screenshot before the box blackscreened:

fullsized:

I had to power-off the box to shutdown.
Another (possibly related) issue is that X is now consuming 75-90% of my CPU. Something is not right. Here is the top screenshot showing the behavior:

Hi David,
I had the same issue: after upgrading to 2.6.32, my system would freeze
when starting a VM.
I was using virtualbox-ose from community. I removed virtualbox-ose and
virtualbox-modules and installed virtualbox_bin from AUR. This one works
flawlessly.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Alberto
