noob installing sabayon in VBox needs help

[ElQuia]

Hi. Im a new Linux user, have used some ubuntu distros but its my first with sabayon
I installed 4.2 x64 in a guest VBox machin (using vista x64 as host). Install went ok but I have problems installing the guest additions. When trying to I get this error:

VirtualBox 2.2.4 Guest Additions installation
Please install teh build and header files for your curent Linux kernel.
The current kernel version is 2.6.29-sabayon
This system does not seem to have support for OpenGL direct rendering
VirtualBox requires Linux 2.6.27 or later for this. Please see the log file
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log if your guest uses Linux 2.6.27 and you still see this message

The log says:

Could not find the Linux kernel header files - the directories
/lib/modules/2.6.29-sabayon/build/include and /usr/src/linux/include
do not exist
Giving up due to the problems mentioned above...

VBox forum says:

install the kernel-headers. Without that, you can't build kernel modules. Check your distro repository and/or documentation to see what package you need to get the headers. And the website and their forum for what package you need to install to be able to create kernel modules.

PLEASE How do I do this??? I would really appreciate some detailed instructions, remember I´m new to linux...

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Open sulfur and look for the following packages:
linux-headers-2.6.29 -> Linux system headers
linux-sabayon-2.6.29 -> Official Sabayon Linux Standard kernel image and source
sabayon-sources-2.6.29 -> Official Sabayon Linux Standard kernel sources

I'm not sure you need them all, but these packages contain kernel source files and header files.
I guess that 'linux-sabayon-2.6.29' is the one you need.

Ignore above.

You should only install virtualbox using entropy or equo and not using the package from virtualbox.org as that is not supported by sabayon.

Code: Select all

equo install virtualbox-guest-additions

Will pull all the stuff you need.

then you will need to change your xorg.conf to the below to use the drivers.

Code: Select all

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Generic Keyboard"
   Driver      "kbd"
   Option      "XkbRules"   "xorg"
   Option      "XkbModel"   "pc105"
   Option      "XkbLayout"   "us"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier   "Configured Mouse"
    Driver      "vboxmouse"
    Option      "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier   "Configured Video Device"
   Driver      "vboxvideo"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "Configured Monitor"
   Option      "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier   "Default Screen"
   Monitor      "Configured Monitor"
   Device      "Configured Video Device"
   DefaultDepth   24
   SubSection   "Display"
      Depth   24
      Modes   "1024x768"
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier   "Default Layout"
   Screen   "Default Screen"
EndSection

Running the command above now returns a "No match for...in repositories" error. Searching equo yields no results resembling virtualbox-guest-additions. Is there a new package name, or a new supported process for installing the additions in a Guest instance of Sabayon?
