VirtualBox freezes on booting from ISO

Post by dodger48 »

Hi,

ok, I've posted this as a ticket ( http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/386 ) allready. But I hope here are users who can confirm the freeze on their VirtualBox installation or not. This would give me a hint i there is a problem with my VirtualBox installations or if it is a genera. problem with the ISO or VirtualBox.

I'm creating installation ISO images for my Debian based software distribution system. The ISO file is used directly to boot VirtualBox from. The included installation script or the Linux kernel are freezing anomalous at different stages of the booting or script execution.

Sometimes the freeze is when the Linux kernel loads the module for the VirtualBox harddisk controler. On all accounts the freeze occurrs when the virtual disk should be formated. VirtualBox 1.3.8 did not have this freeze. I get it in the OSE SVN version and the current 1.4.0.

The ISO can be downloaded from:

Thank you for you help!
