Yepp, discovered the same problem with 6.2 and 6-stable. However I didn't run into these problems with 6.1. I've got to admit that I didn't do that much testing with 6.1. (buildworld worked a couple of times) The actual intention of the current installation is to see if this still occures with VBox 1.5.2 and the 7.0 Beta Cheers Jochen
