VM guest OS is Windows XP. I was running the OSE in the Ubuntu repositories before, but found I would require USB support since virtualbox only supports 2 serial ports at a time. Now, when starting my VM, if BOTH serial ports are enabled, the VM freezes at 0% while ""Starting virtual machine..."" My serial settings are: Port 1 Enabled COM1 Host Device /dev/ttyS0 Port 2 Enabled COM2 Host Device /dev/ttyS1 It freezes up with any settings for the second serial device. I have verified that nothing is using the serial ports, and that they function from the host machine.",defect,closed,uart,VirtualBox 3.1.0,fixed,serial freeze startup,,other,Linux
