    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    What is the host OS (distribution + version + kernel), and which version of VBox are you running? I have been running VBox on both Linux and Windows hosts for over 4 years without seeing this error, and I run many different operating systems in VMs including QNX, Solaris, Linux, BSD, FreeDOS, and Windows.

    Also, is your host 32-bit, or 64-bit? And have you enabled the virtualization extensions in the BIOS (if available)? And what is the guest OS?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
