Bacon --- Interesting... I spoke too soon about 5.2.8 solving the problem. The latest round of Cent= OS Yum updates triggered it again. I restored the .vdi file using an OVA snapshot and reran updates + zeroing = free blocks (in prep for compressing the disk image). Did this procedure twice, once with IDE and no host cache, and again with S= ATA and host cache. No problems in either case. So it looks like we may have a workaround. It's still a mystery why this problem popped up in 5.2.6, though. I've been running CentOS VMs for years and never had to care about controller setting= s. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
