[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#802764: virtualbox-source: fucks up my kernel's modules

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Creating a kernel module has nothing in common with not booting a system, unless you get a kernel panic or similar.

I tried to reproduce and I have been able to do so.

I also talked with upstream, they will make some changes in making the dkms more robust, but nothing should have changed in this
particular release.

cheers,

G.

It is the only recent package that touched kernel modules.
