38746 is the one I am using too, but I am testing it on Windows 32-bit host 
Vista os.

The error occurs randomly, which never happened before. My hd is highly 
fragmented, only have enough free space to hold about 8GB for the new vm.

I will test Linux version on the same hd to compare.

  I installed Win8 yesterday using VDI, SATA, and
      it went smoothly

      SVN r38746 Debian 7 x86_64 host

    Guest additions failed as I expected it would.

    

    I actually installed it two times.  Deleted the entire build and
    installed again to test.

    Hi,
      

      

      the trim feature does not depend on the SSD flag but is a separate
      feature which needs to be enabled manually, the default is to
      disable trim ( everything else is a bug ;) )

      Note: If you used a VDI file and activated
        the SSD flag then the SVN
        

        code will strip out unused code from the VDI file. As this code
        is
        

        very new then this could be the reason for the problems you
        observe.
        

        Did you enable the SSD-Flag for the drive associated with the
        VDI
        

        file?
        

        

        Kind regwrds,

        Why do you think this is a regression?
          Did you try to install Windows 8
          

          with an older SVN version?

          might be SATA controller bug too, as
            it is more stable when using IDE hd

            trying to install Windows 8 to vdi image, and it fails
            randomly. Seems
            

            recent code changes have introduced a bug to vdi.
            

            It stops at some random percentage of Windows expanding
            phase,25%, 96%,
            

            etc. It never succeeded, tried 5 times with today's SVN
            code.
            

            vmdk/vhd works fine.
