Hi.

I just wanted to add that the kldload and "VERR_SYMBOL_VALUE_TOO_BIG"
errors that Artem posted also occur on RELENG_7/amd64. I rebuilt with
debug enabled and set the environment variable per the posts on the
VirtualBox mailing list and have included the requested logs below
(along with some additional info from /var/log/messages about the
kernel module).

One note: when running the version with debug I haven't really seen the
original error about "VERR_SYMBOL_VALUE_TOO_BIG" in any of the logs and
it doesn't pop up on screen anymore when the the VM fails to start; the
window just disappears after failing to start.

Thanks in advance!
