"after upgrade"? who/which/what did you upgrade? if you upgraded the virtualbox version on the host (the 'host' being the machine that provides resources for the 'guest' VMs [sorry, that's not meant to be downspeak, I just don't know if we'd be using the same terms for things]) then you likely need the virtualbox extensions installed to match your current version of virtualbox, if you updated the guest's kernel, then in my experience you'll need to once again install the VB additions (I normally install from the iso file included with virtualbox, I've never dealt with vb additions from the freebsd ports). --=20 public gpg key id: AE60F64C
