Fedora 11 upgrade to Fedora 12 in VirtualBox 3.0.10 and X issue.

---

I upgraded my Fedora 11 installed in VirtualBox 3.0.10 today to Fedora 12 Constantine from the DVD ISO. After final reboot I found that I get progress bar at the bottom when the Fedora 12 boots up, but then I get a black screen with only a cursor at the top left corner and nothing.

Solutions was simple:

1. Clicked in VBox window.
2. Alt-2
3. Logged in as root.
4. Checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log
5. Found that vboxvideo module failed to load and screen was not found.
6. Mounted /dev/sr0 in /media/VBOXADDITIONS_3.0.10_54097
7. Run ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
8. shutdown -r now

System booted this time properly nicely displaying gdm login screen.
Once logged, update utility reported 119 updates ready to install already. It's Wed Nov 18 00:43:22 GMT 2009 ;)
$ cat /etc/fedora-release returned Fedora release 12 (Constantine)
Hope this will help someone.
