[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] testing virtualbox 1.6.6

[Joseph Rawson]

I just built the virtualbox 1.6.6 package and I've been giving it a test run.

It seems that the linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 is running just fine now.  I tested 
it at least 10+ times, doing both reboots and poweroffs.  It hasn't caused a 
problem yet! :)

This version also seems to fix the VT bug that I was experiencing.  It used to 
crash when >1 VM was running with VT enabled.  This isn't happening anymore.  
I've been running 3 VM's concurrently (including the one with the kernel I 
was testing I kept turning on and off) and I haven't had any of them freeze 
yet. :)

The packages were built from the r340 revision in the svn tree on alioth.

This is the first chance I've had to see these VM's running at full speed, and 
it's pretty nice! :)

I read somewhere on the virtualbox.org site that enabling VT may make the 
machines run slower, but I haven't seen any evidence of that here.

Thanks for being so quick in making it easy for me to build the packages! :)
