Re: 12.3 kernel crash after update

Hi Janos,

with me the problem was that I had the old vbox driver modules in /boot/modules and I had to build the port 

virtualbox-ose-kmod

in addition to virtualbox-ose

After installing the kernel driver modules I got get over the kernel panic during boot and the problem is gone.

Nonetheless, starting virtualbox results in a segmentation fault. :(
