[vbox-dev] serious VDI bug

[Frank Mehnert]

Note: If you used a VDI file and activated the SSD flag then the SVN
code will strip out unused code from the VDI file. As this code is
very new then this could be the reason for the problems you observe.
Did you enable the SSD-Flag for the drive associated with the VDI
file?

Kind regwrds,

Frank
