Hi.  I have a working installation of 1.3.2, host x86 SuSE 10.1, in which
I successfully installed SuSE 10.1 as a guest.  That all seems to work.

Now I would like to make an install of Red Hat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18 ?).
I know this is an old distro, but it was widely used, and the VBox
docs mention 'limited' kernel 2.4 support.  Unfortunately this does
not work.  The installation kernel loads and boots ok and makes quite a 
lot of progress, but then fails like this:

  NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0
  EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock
  cramfs: wrong magic
  FAT: unable to read boot sector
  isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=09:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32
  Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:00

and at that point it hangs.

Is this fixable / workaround-able?  I am hoping to use VBox for automated
overnight testing of an open-source project (valgrind), but I need it to
work with this older distro.

Thanks, and nice work.  Great to see it's open source.

J
