cannot boot W2K guest

[wolfgang61]

My host is kubuntu 9.04 with kernel 2.6.30, virtualbox 2.2.4.

I am trying to migrate from VMware, I have several guests with linux and W2K, all of them using SCSI virtual disks. The linux guests work with virtualbox, but the W2K guest does not. It hangs when booting before the first graphics screen with the clouds would appear.

strace -p endlessly repeats calls to ioctl(27,VIDIOC_ENUMAUDIO). This always happens: with default sound driver for the guest, without sound driver, with null sound driver. CPU Usage is at 100%. I downloaded the current svn source code but it does not contain VIDIOC_ENUMAUDIO

What can I do to debug this?

ioctl(27, VIDIOC_ENUMAUDIO, 0) = 0
