Having a sata drive crashes virtualbox on high disk activity

Post by arvind_cse »

Hi,
I have installed virtual box (2.0.2,2.0.4,2.0.6) on windows xp host. Installed Ubuntu guest. Virtual box keeps crashing when i use SATA drive and try to run some disk intensive applications (Like installing oracle in the SATA drive).
Have tried the same with Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 with all the above 3 mentioned versions of virtual box. Removing the SATA and having only IDE seems to be working fine without any issues.

Has anyone encountered this issue? I have the logs but not sure what to do with it.

Figured this issue to be with the SATA drives after so many permutation and combination of virtualbox configurations and guest OS. Any help will be appreciated
regards,
Arvind
