    initial v1  
    55I do have auto capture keyboard enabled, but that was because I had been having problems with VMs not responding to keyboard input and I *thought* perhaps this might help.  What would happen is that, intermittently, a guest would not respond to keyboard input (but mouse worked fine in guest) and I would have to switch from full screen mode to windowed mode and then back to full screen so that I could input keys again in the guest.  I may not fully understand the meaning of this option, but I thought it worth a try.

    7 My host is Devuan Ascii (2.1) on Vbox 6.1, though I had the same keyboard problem in 6.0 (I don't recall this in 5.x however).   I run about 6 or so guests on an 8-core AMD FX cpu.  Most VMs only get 1 vcpu allocated to them.
     7My host is Devuan Ascii (2.1) on Vbox 6.1.10 (all guests have updated GAs), though I had the same keyboard problem in 6.0 (I don't recall this in 5.x however).   I run about 6 or so guests on an 8-core AMD FX cpu.  Most VMs only get 1 vcpu allocated to them.

    99If you feel this is a different issue, please feel free to move this comment to a different ticket.  But please do not cancel it altogether.  This *might* be related to the current issue; the symptoms are very similar even if the cause slightly different.  Either way, this is a Vbox problem and deserves proper treatment.  BTW, I discovered this ticket only by googling for a kernel message which has appeared several times in the past day or so on the host.  (The message was "VMMR0InitVM: eflags=246 fKernelFeatures=0x0 (SUPKERNELFEATURES_SMAP=0)").   I am happy to supply additional information.
