Need help properly configuring VirtualBox and guest additions

[ronw]

SteveRiley - confirming your steps 6 and 7 in post #45 indeed solved the GA build problem on a Raring VM.

Nice.

(I'm sure your other steps are equally good, but I didn't specifically follow those)

@Shabakthanai -- I replied to the PM you left me. I have a request here, however. This has been a long thread, and I need a reminder of your current state. Can you please summarize:

1. Does the host operating system boot properly?

2. If yes, does the host operating system have Internet connectivity?

3. Does the guest operating system in the virtual machine boot at all?

4. If yes, does the guest operating system in the virtual machine have Internet connectivity?

I know that you're on the brink of completely paving and rebuilding. But please let us all know the current state of your environment first. Thank you.
