I've tried vbox 3 and 4, both with the same behavior. Installing Windows 7 as a guest and either (a) my system will completely freeze (I'm assuming the kernel panicked), or (b) I'm thinking the Linux raid module dies because the system becomes unresponsive (although I can open a terminal, the shell doesn't come up, browser freezes, etc.). The only fix for both of these problems is a hard reboot. I have on idea how to go about troubleshooting this issue. I'd hate to open a ticket with the vbox folks until I have more information. The only thing I've read online that may be applicable is that there have been some issues with kernel panics when you give the guest OS more than 1 processor. It would suck badly if SMP didn't work well on vbox. Thoughts? -james
