I am trying to get my guests (all of which have this problem) to clock properly. Like said in the forum post, the clock runs slow in the VM; 2 real seconds is a VM's second. I am however able to start a VM without an issue. The fade-ins of the BIOS and Windows splash are very slow. I've recompiled the vboxdrv kernel module several times and re-modprobed. Older versions (even 1.6.2) worked. 1.6.4 was in the updates, so I installed. I am considering downgrading to see if that works. Thanks for your help. Should I file a bug report? ~Tatsh
