Per your previous message, you had booted 2.6.31-21 So, You should be loading the vbox modules from the kernel version you boooted. If you run uname -r, it should tell you which kernel you have booted into, and load the vbox modules from /lib/modules/2.6.31-21.... > > >> As far as Copy and Paste betweeen host and guest, I to have >> NEVER beeen able to make that work, even after installing addons. >> > It worked for me before, not necessary installing guest-addon.

Only super slow, because I installed the guest on a 16GB flash drive, which was supposed to be a 210X speed flash drive. Well, I have been fooled by the manufacturer's claims :) I am surprised it crashes for you. Works fine for me, even on my old athelon64 3200+ unicore cpu.
