Bug Description
Installed a jaunty testbed system on my machine (Tecra A8 notebook, Core2 Duo CPU, 2GB RAM). Tried both Sun VirtualBox and virtualbox-ose off the package repository, with the same result: Starting virtualbox works well, vbox* modules also seem loaded. However as soon as I try starting a virtual machine (no matter whether a newly created one or an existing one restored from backup), the virtual machine window appears and then the whole system immediately locks up inasmuch as that the GUI doesn't respond anymore, no mouse/keyboard interactions are possible anymore, and switching to any vt using ctrl+alt+f<n> also doesn't work anymore. Couldn't so far get closer to this, unfortunately...
system:

Thank goodness it is not just me!
