I have upgraded to VirtualBox 3.0.10. and after installing a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 I was obviously trying to install the Guest Additions. Everything seemed fine, although there was a bit few files on the CD-ROM, and there was an OS2 folder (huhh?)
It turned out that no usable files are on the CD, dunno what messed that up.
The solution is to unmount the CD-ROM by the VirtualBox menu, then delete the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso file in the Virtualbox folder, so VirtualBox won't find it.
Next, try to install Guest Additions again and VBOX will warn you that the file is missing and offers you a download option.
Choose it, wait a little, and voila, you are done.
