It could well be that a bug in FreeBSD is triggering the bug in VirtualBox, but we're unlikely to make much headway debugging the FreeBSD bug (if any) until the bug in VirtualBox is diagnosed/fixed. I'm not sure what the normal debugging procedure for vbox panics on Mac OS X is, but I'd suggest making a backup copy of the bad VM so that you can trigger it on demand later. > This does not happen in a new, freshly installed VM.

This, on the other hand, could be our bug; there's a new USB stack in 8.0. I suggest creating a new thread for that issue with a usb-related subject line to make sure the right folk see it. Robert
