Chirpa, I used your instructions to load my VM up at startup. But it doesn't seem to be working. The script is fine coz I can load it that way. Any ideas? Windows 7 seems to be working a treat on it, so appreciate the thread a lot.
I will need to test it out. The script works manually, so its probably a path/environment when running it from the automated system control.
yeah that's the one. Any logs I can check? Other than that it works great. Got my 4GB upgrade for me PRO, and I'll pop an Win 2K3 server on there as well.
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
VMM: fixed network regressions (guest hangs during network IO) (bug #4343) VMM: guest SMP performance improvements VMM: fixed hangs and poor performance with Kaspersky Internet Security (VT-x/AMD-V only; bug #1778) VMM: fixed crashes when executing certain Linux guests (software virtualization only; bugs #2696 & #3868) ACPI: fixed Windows 2000 kernel hangs with IO-APIC enabled (bug #4348) APIC: fixed high idle load for certain Linux guests (3.0 regression) BIOS: properly handle Ctrl-Alt-Del in real mode iSCSI: fixed configuration parsing (bug #4236) OVF: fix potential confusion when exporting networks OVF: compatibility fix (bug #4452) NAT: fixed crashes under certain circumstances (bug #4330) 3D support: fixed dynamic linking on Solaris/OpenSolaris guests (bug #4399) 3D support: fixed incorrect context/window tracking for multithreaded apps Shared Folders: fixed loading from saved state (bug #1595) Shared Folders: host file permissions set to 0400 with Windows guest (bug #4381) X11 host and guest clipboard: fixed a number of issues, including bug #4380 and #4344 X11 Additions: fixed some issues with seamless windows in X11 guests (bug #3727) Windows Additions: added VBoxServiceNT for NT4 guests (for time synchronization and guest properties) Windows Additions: fixed version lookup Linux hosts: workaround for buggy graphics drivers showing a black VM window on recent distributions (bug #4335) Linux hosts: fixed typo in kernel module startup script (bug #4388) Installer: support Pardus Linux Solaris hosts: several installer fixes Solaris host: fixed a preemption issue causing VMs to never start on Solaris 10 (bug #4328). Solaris guest: fixed mouse integration for OpenSolaris 2009.06 (bug #4365) Windows hosts: fixed high CPU usage after resuming the host (bug #2978) OVF: accept ovf:/disk/ specifiers with a single slash in addition to ovf://disk/ (bug #4452) Fixed a settings file conversion bug which sometimes caused hardware acceleration to be enabled for virtual machines that had no explicit configuration in the XML.

I'm trying to install Virtualbox on a NVX but I've a problem at the end of this command :
# apt-get install virtualbox-3.0
I've this message in vbox-install.log

Copy the defconfig as noted in my other thread. Then do a 'make clean;make all' in the kernel sources, then try installing VirtualBox again. Should work.
