Hi Frank,

Sorry I was vague.  Yes, suspend-to-disk the Host O/S.  Here's what I
do:

   One-time:  Set SUSPEND_MODULES in /etc/pm/config.d/ to include
              'vboxdrv' 

   1) Stop the VM
   2) Exit the main VM GUI
   3) Call Suspend-to-disk from the KDE GUI

Correct, when I resume my Host O/S and restart the VM.
