Upgrade from 2.2.x to 3.0 - All Guest OSes unstable

Post by vijaymverma »

I have had to revert back to the 2.2.x version of virtualbox after I upgraded to 3.0 !!

Not only every Guest OS has become unstable, there is no way I could use them once I managed to boot them. The fullscreen is really the worst part of the upgrade.
Has someone had the same issues with upgrade ? Does a clean install remove all the problems ? I would like to know since I can do away with some of the Guest OSes and install fresh ones.

Btw, it was great to see one more version come out of the Virtualbox stable. Ever since Oracle took Sun over, I was doubtful that we would ever see any release to the current Virtualbox version. Keep up the good work guys.
