Yep. And it's a bit confusing cause you have the headless use flag that really does nothing. Just yesterday I had to rebuild it twice in a row because I got tricked by that. And to top it off it's been a while since I've been able to build VirtualBox with anything other thann -j1. Bertram, if you're still having the host crashes one possible cause is a dirty /lib/modules/<kernel version> directory. I just had the same problem. I was setting up a new laptop so I was fiddling with the kernel config and I switched something to built-in from module but the module from the previous kernel build was still there. So remove that directory and run 'make modules_install' again. -- Fernando Rodriguez
