Description
I have installed VirtualBox on Suse, and I wanted to install Win98. I made everything I should, modprobe and userpermissions, but every time I start win98 VM it just crashes. I searched over the net, and in forums, and it seams that many people have the same problem, but I found no solution to it.

Without the VBox.log of such a session we can't do anything.
I got the same problem with Virtualbox 1.5.2 on Windows XP-Host. It works with Win98 but not Win98SE (Second Edition).
