Hi German,
Nope, once I removed the Fedora repo version & installed the one from
virtualbox.org everything seems fine. Had to make sure I didn't try to
use the USB drive in bothe the vm WinXP and the Fedora host machine, and
to click on the USB device in the Devices tag of the VM, but other than
that, no problems. BUT....I am still using F12.
Cheers
Dave
Many thanks Dave for your reply. I'm using virtualbox in my host Fedora
13 amd athlon 64 and 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64.
More ideas? Did it happen to someone else that used virtualbox to run
Fedora 14 Alfa or Beta?
Regards,
Germán.
