9184	Guest starts and freeze the VM and host systems. O	Russ Fineman		"Host: openSUSE 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop

Copy of report and response from mailing list:

Problem:

  1.  VirtualManager shows four usb devices active:

      XEROX Phaser 6120 [0100]
      Cypress Semiconductor AT2+ Fast Bits [0001]
      Western Digital My Book [0165]
      CHESEN PS2 to USB Converter [0010]
 
       a. If I have CHESEN device enable (Device sharing of Mouse, Monitor
       and keyboard between two system), XP Guest starts, hangs both Guest and
       Host on the VM desktop screen. 
       
       Must power off or reset system to restart and free up.
       This occured on 0.8 also, just left it disabled in Virtual Manager.
 
       b. If it is disabled, the XP works but all usb devices come up
       disabled and require usb cables to be unplugged and replugged in to
       enable devices. Then all works fine until next start of VirtualBox.
       This was not necessary of version 0.8.
 
  CHESEN works fine switching between two Linux hosts on separate system.
 
  Has anyone else seen this type behavior? If not, what is the link to
  report bug?

Bugs can be reported on [ http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker ]. 
This does potentially look like a bug and worth reporting.  Don't worry 
if you don't get any immediate response as I am probably the person who 
would evaluate the bug report and am away for the next couple of weeks 
without my work computer.

Regards,

Michael
