Did you update the initrd aswell?
Quote:Does virtualbox use Samba to communicate to guest.Depends on how you set it up. If you want to access from a non Unix like guest your host you might need samba though I think virtualbox does not use the samba server on your system but simulates a samba share for the host.
virtualbox-guest-dkms and virtualbox-guest-x11 packages btw. are only necessary if you run Maui inside a virtualbox as guest. It has nothing to do with when you have it as host system.
