We are aware that some error report mechanisms still has to be improved. What does /bin/ls -l /dev/hdc say? One another thing you could try is to use VBoxSDL as GUI once you have set up your VM. Do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. strace -s 1024 -f -o LOG ./VBoxSDL -vm <VM name> Then look at the output of strace. Probably you will find one or more line containing EPERM. You should see then which file/device could not be accessed. > One question here: Should the CD be mounted or not? Seems the device name > is preceded by an asterisk when a medium is mounted. But should an > installation CD mounted on the host before running the guest, or not? The CD should _not_ be mounted. VirtualBox uses the raw-mode.
