View Full Version : Hang when rebooting Virtualbox guest

I installed Virtualbox, the kernel module, set up the groups correctly, got WinXP installed as a guest, and installed the guest additions. Everything in general is working great.

However, whenever the guest tries to reboot, or if I select the Machine->Reset, my host computer hangs. Can't move mouse, can't Ctrl-Alt-F1, can't do anything...

This is a new Hardy Heron 8.04 amd64 install, everything installed out of Ubuntu repos (except WinXP as the Virtualbox guest of course).

I tried searching for someone having the same issue, but I haven't seen anything that matched the problem I'm having. Anyone have a suggestion?

Any help appreciated - Thanks!
