VB 1.4 crashes on fedora 7 launching a vm

[jcezanna56]

I can create a vm but when I try to launch it to install, a new window is opened, a dialog annouces starting and everything freezes. I have to kill and xkill everything. VirtualBox is unusable.

How you tried with SELinux enabled or disabled ? (VBox doesn't like SELinux)

[Technologov]

Also 2.6.22 is not F7 kernel, it's your own kernel. F7 uses 2.6.21 kernel.

How you installed VBOX:

Did you compile youself ?

Did you used official F7 RPMs ?

Did you used all-distro installer (.run) ?

In my practise, the all-distro installer is the most stable way to get VBox up and running.

I'm having the same (or very similar) issue - details below. Technologov for info 2.6.22 is an official Fedora kernel, see my uname output below, kernel was updated via yum just a few days ago from official repository. I only see this issue on x86_64 - I have an installation running perfectly well on same kernel version but 32bit i686. SELinux is disabled and I used the official F7 x86_64 rpm (.run) from www.virtualbox.org

It is duplicate of 484, isn't it?
