I just got RH 5.2 installed on a new test server ... its a base install no RH virtual kit installed ... I then installed VBox 2.1.4 and then created a Windows 2003 server as guest ... installed w/out issue ... start the vm without problem ... however, after several minutes, i'll get a total blank screen ... restarted the whole server then vbox then the vm but the same results that after few minutes i'll get a total blank screen ... though keyboard looks ok to me coz caps lock and num lock does a on/off led light ...

it doesn't look like a linux problem to me coz my linux machine will run ok if i'm not using VBox ... So what happen to this version of Vbox?

I used to have v1.5 and runs ok ... what did Sun do to VBox?

Oh, it's a linux issue alright. If your num- and capslock are flashing, it means your machine is having a kernel panic. Since it's happening when using VB, it's kernel module is not working properly. Try to debug as much as you can, look at log files etc. to see what is going on. When you know, or need some additional help

, you can file a bug report in the Bugtracker. Be as specific as possible, with exact settings and all. You need a separate account for the system though.
