[Bug 297915] Re: Guest utils do not work, Intrepid on Hardy

I think this bug should be closed, but I don't think it's a duplicate of
bug 303199.

That bug is about about virtualbox kernel modules on the host not
getting updated when the kernel is updated, causing virtualbox on the
host to not be able to run any guests at all.

This bug is about not being able to use the guest utils on an Intrepid
guest running inside a Hardy host. The guests still run, the guest utils
simply won't work.

This problem is caused by the version mismatch between virtualbox on the
guest and virtualbox on the host (2.0.4 vs 1.5.6); this can't be
resolved since I don't think anyone's going to put the virtualbox 1.5.6
guest utils modules into Intrepid or the virtualbox 2.0.4 host software
and modules into Hardy.
