HI All,

I am able to install virtualbox 1.6 with all functionalities ( usb,hostnetwork) without any problem on centos - 5.1 . issue is with windows xp guest causing high cpu load even when it is idle. ( 90 + load)

so any of you please suggest me work around.

Update: if i disconnect usb devices then load is normal. so issue with USB - any hints ?
Thanks for your time
Rav

ok .. ok if you run virtual box under root with usb devices - load is ok. but if you run run virtual box as non root user with usb device cpu 100%

ok -- upgraded to 1.6.2 from 1.60 bingo ! now that rpoblem also gone. even for non root user with usb device load is 2% ..

problem solved...
