That extension doesn't exist.

i remember someone told me that virtualbox 32 bit won't work with 64 bit kernel modules so i did not even attempt to try it

hello arslan,

any plans for 64-bit virtualbox and modules packages? if not, did you use a script or keep a log when creating virtualbox-ose.tcz and virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz, and if so, might i use that in order to create virtualbox-ose64.tcz and virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.21-tinycore64.tcz? i've hit occasional kernel panics using virtualbox-ose.tcz and virtualbox-ose-modules-3.0.32-x1-rt52.tcz with tinyrt-3.0.32-x1-rt52 (+pae) as the host system, and am interested in a virtualbox tcz, maybe even the newer version of it (4.2.4), for 64-bit tinycore.

many thanks,
webb

Virtualbox is known to be of low quality (those kernel panics). Have you considered KVM?

Yes, it should work well. Remember to install the kvm- extension too, for the hw support.
