Hell, I just got enough of this and installed the virtualbox modules directly from the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso, which is mounted by virtualbox when you say that it should install the guest additions. And now at least it works! Based on http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp5801200 # pacman -S dkms # pacman -R virtualbox-guest-additions -> otherwise the next command would complain # sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run [root@myhost cdrom]# sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run Verifying archive integrity...
