Using VirtualBox 3.0.4 on XP-64 with a Solaris 10 guest one of the virtualbox threads gets stuck in an endless loop in kernel mode. It consumes 50% of my CPU. I don't see this with my Linux guest images.
The stack trace of the thread eating all the CPU looks like this

ntoskrnl.exe!FsRtlAddBaseMcbEntry+0x82

Re: Solaris guest hogging CPU
Try upgrading to VBox 3.0.6. I haven't had the CPU hogging problems yet in 3.0.6 that I used to have in 3.0.4.
