Re: [owl-users] Owl kickstart - Owl-current (VirtualBox Guest Additions)

I like that idea, but for now I'm still stuck trying to get guest additions
working with Owl.  I tried Owl-current today and I had compile errors
building the guest additions.  I copied the kernel and patch and applied
the patch to the kernel source before trying to build the guest additions.
 Here is a snippet of what I tried and the output I got.

echo "Install virtualbox guest additions"
cd /usr/src/
unxz patch-308.11.1.el5.028stab102.1-combined.xz
patch -p0 <patch-308.11.1.el5.028stab102.1-combined
mv linux-2.6.18 linux
cd /usr/src/linux
yes "" | make oldconfig
yes "" | make prepare
yes "" | make modules_prepare
cd ~
mount -o loop VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.22.iso /mnt
sh /mnt/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Output from the /var/log/vbox-install.log file:
http://bpaste.net/show/65251/

The tail of the output is:

In file included from /tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h:89:0,
                 from /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.h:21,
                 from /tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.c:31:

make[2]: *** [/tmp/vbox.0/vfsmod.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vbox.0] Error 2
make: *** [vboxsf] Error 2

At this point I'm at a loss.  I'm not sure if I have the right source, or
if VirtualBox Guest Additions are incompatible with Owl.  Unless someone
has an idea of what to try next, I'll probably just go with CentOS.

I appreciate the help so far!
