Fix is available in SVN, unfortunately we cannot include it into 2.1.2 release due to lack of testing. Will also attach the patch, so you can apply it yourself.

This evening I've compiled lastest SVN trunk with this patch applied on a Gentoo x86_64 (Athlon64x2 3800+) as host.
I've successfully booted DragonFlyBSD and installed it on a small 4GB HDD. The VM has been compiling during 4 hours without any problems, it seemed to be stable. Nevertheless, I will let you know any issue I may encounter.
I would like to thank all the VBox team helping us in this issue.
Kind regards. Antonio Huete

Has this been applied to 2.1.4? The Changelog does not mention this bug.
comment:11 by , 16 years ago
That fix is in the SVN version but not in 2.1.4. The reason is that this fix is not entirely approved yet.

For those of us who use the non-OSE edition of VirtualBox, could the VirtualBox team provide us with test binaries?
comment:13 by , 16 years ago
Hi,
Is there any plans to include this change on next VBox release, or it will be kept only for OSE?
Thanks Antonio

Hi
I can't find this fix committed in 2.2.0. Is it committed but not posted on Changelog, or just not committed?
Regards, Antonio
comment:16 by , 16 years ago
Yes, it is commited. but not mentioned. Does it work for you (I've seen some problems with raw mode)?
comment:17 by , 16 years ago
Hi again,
I've been successful in installing/booting the systems. Thank you very much for your support.
I think this ticket can be closed.
Cheers, Antonio

Raw == no VT-X/AMD-V. Nevermind.
This has happened since version 1.0A: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2007-04/msg00074.html
