3453,can't boot solaris guest on WinXP after installing guest additions,Stephen Clamage,,"I upgraded to Vbox 2.1.4 on two computers: WinXP laptop, Vista/64 desktop. Open Solaris 2008.11 is installed as a guest on both.

On the Vista/64 system, everything works perfectly.

On the WinXP system, Solaris will not boot after installing the Solaris guest additions. The guest additions are the ones that came with Vbox 2.1.4. When I boot Solaris, it hangs at the ""happy face"" and never completes. If I boot in text mode, I get several complaints about ""/usr/bin/VBoxService failed with exit status 1."" The boot process seems to complete, and I can log in in text mode (no window manager).

After the failed normal boot, Windows is left in a bad state. The mouse and selection buttons don't seem to work right, and I have to reboot windows.

I uninstalled vbox, removed the .VirtualBox folder, and cleaned all references to vbox from the Windows registry (using a registry clean tool).

I reinstalled vbox 2.1.4, then installed Open Solaris, same problems. Solaris works fine until I install Solaris Guest Additions.",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 2.1.4,fixed,solaris guest additions,,Solaris,Windows
