They did then, but don't do now except one! After fiddling a long time comparing the differences between the vboxes' options I found it to be the initialization of the disc drivers. All have WinXP or Win7 installed as guest, and if I create a fresh new one it doesn't work. Error message is in all cases: -------------------------------------------------------------- Failed to open a session for the virtual machine W7 2 CPU zwo. The VM session was aborted. Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: SessionMachine Interface: ISession {7844aa05-b02e-4cdd-a04f-ade4a762e6b7} ------------------------------------------------------------- On the system console error message is: Jan 20 21:05:25 puma kernel: vboxdrv: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VMMR0.r0 Jan 20 21:05:26 puma kernel: vboxdrv: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VBoxDDR0.r0 Jan 20 21:05:26 puma kernel: pid 5091 (VirtualBox), uid 1000: exited on signal 10 The logs of the machines in question allways do end at starting up disks. I have attached some of them for reference. Dunno if there is private information in the logs, if so please keep it private. Playing around gave me: 1. When only an IDE controller is attached, which has both channel usable, it does work. The machine starts up. 2. If one of the disk drives is an optical drive having no disc inserted, startup fails. 3. With no IDE controller, only SATA, the startup fails. This did happen with 5.2.2, 5.2.4, 5.2.6. Even 5.1.30 was involved with the error, IIRC. I do not know if this plays a role, but after some hardware failure I had to switch my computer from PhenomII X4 975 to AthlonII X2 250e.
