I decided to continue my issue as a new post since it is a separate issue. I am running a Gentoo host using both an XP and Vista guest. I have installed both on my ext3 partition, and have also tried them on ntfs with the same result. For both:
1) Boot up takes about 10-15 minutes
2) Once loaded, everything will work for a few seconds, then the VM will freeze for 5-10 minutes.
I started in safe mode in Vista, and it seemed to get hung up on crcdisk.sys for a while. Some posts said it may have something to do with IDE drivers, but I don't have any special ones as far as I know. On XP in Safe Mode, it hangs at mup.sys.
Both guests are using 1.5 GB ram and XP has a 10GB drive while Vista has a 20GB drive. Upping the RAM to 2GB has no effect.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am ALMOST there
