[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#501608: virtualbox: Debian Lenny as VM system freezes

[Γιώργος]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 1.6.6-35336_Debian_lenny
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

There are several problems trying to install debian lenny on a
virtualbox VM. Installation goes
fine, and after that, almost 4 out of 5 times, when booting kernel it either
freezes, either prints some garbage and freezes. I tried installing it
twice and the behaviour is the same.

Now, when it manages to boot, after some time of using the vm system, it
freezes with no apparent reason...

In your disposal for any additional info...
