Back with the test results: 1) w/o the patch and Host I/O caching for SATA off: Ubuntu-LTS crashes on boot 2) w/o the patch and Host I/O caching on: works (so the source of the problem is correct) 3) with the patch and caching off: works (so the patch somehow makes it better) Now i'm proceeding with another test case: installing Win7 Home Basic: 1) w/o the patch and caching off: VBox dies on early installation stage 2) w/ the patch and caching off: proceeds further, but still dies at a random point of time while copying files 3) w/ the patch and caching on: finally installed i'll do more testing with debug enabled next week. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
