Virtualbox only starting as root

Hello!

Porteus 3.2.2 64bit

If I want to start virtualbox as guest I get the following message and it doesn't start.

As root it starts correctly.

I try it with the current modules and I try it by creating virtualbox modules with the vbox builder.

The devil.xzm and the crippled_sources.xzm I put also to modules folder.

Have someone an idea.

In the past with porteus 3.1 it was working well.

I followed the last instructions at "Virtualbox and Windows 7" thread.

Before I run "sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers guest" and "chmod 4711 /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox"
I have to deactivate vbox-guest.zxm and than after running the commands to activate again.
Than it runs well.

Thank you very much.

So my next step is also to run the commands automatically at start.
I will report.
