I dist-upgraded yesterday, all went fine.
This brought Linux 3.11-0.slh.1-aptosid-amd64 kernel.
With this kernel, machines in Virtualbox refuse to start (pop up message that can't configure network eth0, suggest manually modprobing vboxnetflt which is loaded).
When starting machines, log shows something like
Code:
............

Issue affects both Linux & Windows virtual machines, both 32 and 64 bit.
Booting the previous kernel 3.10-9.slh.1-aptosid-amd64 solves the issue.
Code:

This is apparently https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12001, I would suggest to report a bug against Debian's "virtualbox-source" package ("virtualbox-dkms" respectively, if you used that). Add the link to the upstream vbox ticket, I'd suggest to use "normal" as priority (as Debian/sid is still on kernel 3.10, but it's already borderline "important") and tag it "patch".
Given that Debian's virtualbox packages no longer pass the dfsg and are not part of Debian/main anymore, there's nothing we could do. But in the mean time you can patch the module build yourself (this expects that you use module-assistant and have its package and virtualbox-source installed):
Code:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/pkg/usr_src/
$ cd /tmp/pkg/usr_src/
$ tar -xjf /usr/src/virtualbox.tar.bz2
$ edit ./modules/virtualbox/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c # just apply the patch by hand, by changing the file accordingly; pick your preferred editor
$ LANG= MODULE_LOC=/tmp/pkg/usr_src/modules/ m-a -O --kvers-list $(uname -r) --kernel-dir /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/ --userdir /tmp/pkg/ --text-mode build virtualbox-source
$ su
# dpkg -i /tmp/pkg/virtualbox-modules-$(uname -r)*.deb
# reboot
This should result in a functional virtualbox kernel module.
Considering that your hardware appears to support hardware virtualisation (AMD-V/ svm), we'd strongly suggest to use qemu(-kvm) instead of virtualbox. KVM is supported by the mainline kernel (no out-of-tree modules) and tends to be more performant/ less troublesome, at the expense of not providing a nice GUI. |

Thanks slh,
As you advised, I reported a bug against virtualbox-dkms, here it is
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721786
I dared to use the "important" severity (b/c the problem renders the package unusable).
I'd rather keep the older kernel until a fixed VB version comes down, as opposed to patch modules myself for every kernel.
As about qemu/kvm: I'm aware for the advantages and I use KVM everywhere else; but these VM's are development machines where I need the GUI - for the sake of which I consider VB preferrable. |

//edit 05.09.13 00:34:57 GMT+2: The following is actually bullshit. You COULD do it the way I thought slh has suggested it, but he was actually carefully avoiding this (=modifying files owned by dpkg). So lets just pretend I have never said anything

For the record: slh described how to patch the module source, so this should be a one-time change for the lifetime of Linux for Workgroups (3.11) – aka: with the described change module-assistant and dmakms should do there work as usual and build the module again for you. |

I'd consider this high severity as well, so that's probably fine 
Thanks for the warning about it... |

The bug (#721786) is marked as done in virtualbox/4.2.16-dfsg-3 (uploaded ~4 days ago).
So is this still an issue?
If so, please reopen the bug, otherwise everything fine and we can mark the thread as solved, right? |

Yes - all works after full d-u.
I did not expect so blazingly fast fix from debian package maintainer.
I edited the starting post subject to mark the thread as solved.
Many thanks to everyone! |
