I'll report what happened ASAP, perhaps today. - Ralf Thank you Sébastien :) I've got more good news, than bad news. The good news are for VBox on 3.3.8-1 x86_64. First I installed vbox-ext-oracle (aur). Is there the need to edit some settings? I didn't edit anything. The second step was to boot the the kernel-rt, but now I'll continue with the third step, back to the regular kernel. $ sudo rmmod ipheth Error: Module ipheth is not currently loaded But that doesn't matter, I could restore the iPad, I just needed to reconnect the USB to times by the Device > USB Device menu of VBox at the beginning of the restore. I didn't check if sync will work too. There's a another good news. Since month X couldn't start, when I booted the kernel-rt. Today I upgraded from 3.2.19_rt30-2 to 3.4.2_rt10-1 and I'm able to start a Xfce session again. The bad news are for the kernel-rt and VBox. # /usr/bin/vboxbuild [snip] error: `/lib/modules/3.4.2-rt10-1-rt/build' does not appear to be a valid kernel build directory. # ln -s /usr/src/linux-3.4.2-rt10-1-rt /lib/modules/3.4.2-rt10-1-rt/build # /usr/bin/vboxbuild :: Removing all old VirtualBox kernel modules [DONE] :: Removing all old VirtualBox kernel modules [FAIL] :: Removing all old VirtualBox kernel modules [FAIL] :: Removing all old VirtualBox kernel modules [FAIL] :: Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules (3.4.2-rt10-1-rt) [BUSY] Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong [FAIL] Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong [FAIL] Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong [FAIL] Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong [FAIL] gzip: /lib/modules/3.4.2-rt10-1-rt/extramodules/*.ko: No such file or directory [DONE] After a restart $ sudo pacman -S virtualbox-modules warning: virtualbox-modules-4.1.16-1 is up to date -- reinstalling [snip] Proceed with installation?
