Zenwalk 4.8 does not work as a Linux guest in Virtualbox 1.5
I recently attempted to install Zenwalk as a guest in VirtualBox. Installation always freeze when it's uncompressing the python scripts screen.
I have tried this on virtualbox on two different machine (both running Vista Host), one with AMD and one Intel. Both have failed. I have managed to install Zenwalk on a real machine using the same CD.
It appears that Zenwalk 4.8 is not compatible with Virtualbox 1.5, but I was able to get it install using Virtualbox 1.5.2, which came out just a day or two ago.
However, I was unable to get Guest Additions to work. Zenwalk is not one of the supported linux distro, but some walk may be require to get it to work.
i use these kernel params for vbox with zenwalk: nosmp nohz=off
I can run and build with zw as guest in vbox 1.5.2 (PUEL)
- I have problems writing from guest -> host fs ('protocol error') <- but I've also got this problem with Arch & Windows guests too
- guest additions can't find X on system = no vbox X drivers are installed, I've been looking but not found a place to fix this in there scripts
- there is some timeserver for vbox and it needs its command fixed up a bit, around line 154 of /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxadd-timesync remove 'daemon' from in front of $binary
