Everything is fine I am currently building a virtual Windows 7 machine. So was it then your kernel configuration, not your BIOS? Are those the only two changes you needed to make?

Everything is fine I am currently building a virtual Windows 7 machine. So was it then your kernel configuration, not your BIOS? Are those the only two changes you needed to make? I think I had the CONFIG flags set to Y already. The BIOS change and a shut down before booting was what apparently solved it. I shutdown the laptop and went to bed, the next morning after booting the machine I fired up vbox and all worked. I have now a fully functional Windows7 virtual machine; it is impressive how fast it boots and shuts down as virtual machine; also everything seems to work robustly. I installed goggle scketch up under Win7 and it works nicely. Thanks for the inputs. -- Valmor

Rebooting fixes the problem temporarily. If you notice that behavior you may want to go ahead with any BIOS upgrade to see if that fixes it. kashani
