Hey man, would it be possible for you to enable debugging options on your machine, start your VMs running, then switch to ttyv0, and let it run for while? This is the only way I can get a clean crash dump and generate any data -- I've never been able to "cleanly" crash my system running Xorg (it usually freezes). FYI, I'm running multiple VMs (Windows XP, 7), and I've experienced "freezes" running multiple VMs since using VirtualBox (which despite the lockups, I'm SOOOOO thankful to have on FreeBSD -- thanks again to all the VBox devs!!!!)... -Brandon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
