I am running Suse 11.2 and Sun VirtualBox 3.1.8 r61349 with a 11.2,
Win2K, Win 32 bit and Win7 64 bit and have a very strange problem.

- Install VirtualBox, all works fine

- do On-line update (not VirtualBox) or install other software using Yast.

- Exec bit on /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox is removed.

- Can not start VirtualBox until manually resetting the exec bit to
allow excecution of /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.

All other files are not effected.

Does anyone has a similar problem?

Hi Hans,
may be you need to recompile the kernel modules of
virtualbox, because of an upgrade of the kernel. Please try
as root: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. This should compile the
kernel modules. But you need to have installed the
development packages!

Hi Eike,
Thanks for the tip. Problem solved. It's working now.
