Package: virtualbox Version: 4.3.20-dfsg-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
This is an issue on both 4.3.18 (current testing vb version) and 4.3.20 to which I upgraded. There is a problem with installing debian on a new VM. I downloaded jessie's small installer (debian-jessie-DI-b2-i386-netinst.iso) and installed debian. The install completed (I did a minimum install: just standard utilities and openssh-server selected at tasksel). The VM rebooted after completing the install and then without any command the VM froze and the disk reads without stopping. I let it over 20 minutes and it was still reading. During that time the VM console was frozen as well as the Virtualbox manager. I killed both and then tried to start the VM again: Both are frozen, showing the dialog box saying: starting virtual machine, and the disk reads without stop. I tried the whole procedure over 3 times: Everytime the same. I even tried to snapshot the machine during the new install. I took during the install several snapshots without problem, but after the dialog of setting up partitions etc I pressed the snap button and the VM as well as the VB manager froze, and the disk started reading without stopping. I don't think its a disk fault (I/O errors etc) because kernel would show something and in addition I tried reading the VM file (vdi) and it is read without problem. All I see in the kernel is: [22743.183679] nspr-3: sending ioctl 5393 to a partition! [22743.183711] nspr-3: sending ioctl 5393 to a partition!

I hope I was clear. Thanks!
