This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigE85CFC7CA2DF81F4A08A1F06 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable All, I have a laptop running 8.2-prerelease GENERIC. I have virtualbox ose 3.2.12 from ports (and kmod as well). I've only installed windows guests in vbox. I've installed windows 2008 server 64, windows vista 64bit, and windows 7 32bit. I have the vbox hdd images on an NTFS filesystem mounted using fuse. My box is a dual boot machine between FreeBSD and Windows. My desire is to be able to utilize the same virtual machine in vbox on both my Windows and FreeBSD installations. I can successfully utilize the virtuals in vbox (same version) in Windows. However when I utilize any of the virtual machines in FreeBSD, they run for several minutes and eventually "freeze". Freeze may not necessarily be the correct term. All windows processes on the virtual machine begin to die. First one process, then another, then all. Hard to explain, which may not help my cause here. But, most important fact... in Windows they work fine... under FreeBSD they run for a while and then cease to run. When the VM is good and dead, it is always dead with the little vbox virtual hard disk LED lit up (no idea if that is important). Previously, they would run for a *very* short time. seconds? minutes? and then die (sometimes I couldn't login). I disabled sound support and now they run for 10-15 minutes. Had one run for an hour or two the other day, but can't reproduce that. Usually 10-15 minutes max. Network works fine inside the virtual. I'm new to VirtualBox on FreeBSD. I've used it a bit on Windows with good results. I did try a windows guest on a non fuse filesystem just to rule that out, but had same issue. What else could I provide that might allow someone to point me in the right direction here? Thanks. -- Regards, Eric --------------enigE85CFC7CA2DF81F4A08A1F06 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1N9Y0ACgkQngSDRM3IXUp0hQCgqiX3E7UFPSU3q9aZqnFZaY9M 09kAoIyTfd6YnK8AzpsN3RTwEjIItylL =yHOe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE85CFC7CA2DF81F4A08A1F06--
