Haa... good idea and I once knew to do that too. But that was before the truly `macro' senility set in ... 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II] 00:01.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) 00:04.0 System peripheral: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Guest Service 00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:06.0 USB Controller: Apple Computer Inc.

Something about write protecting kernel text and read-only data. Then another odd one: atkbd serio0: Spurious NAK on isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly. I've never seen those message before.

And now does appear to be truly stuck. Full kernel config here: www.jtan.com/~reader/vu_txt/disp.cgi
