VirtualBox - no screen refresh

No luck for me. I have recompiled my kernel with the latest from CVS (I
noticed the pmap.c version 1.665 previous I used was 1.664).
I recompiled virtualbox rev427 as well.

VirtualBox starts but whenever I launch a VM the system crashes just after
hitting the start button, with and without VT-x enabled.

Worse thing is the memory dump does not complete so I have got no trace to
analyse.

Vladimir,

Could you confirm a few things for me please?

- did you upgrade from 7.2 to 8-CURRENT? or did you do a fresh install from
snapshot?

- I am using a customer kernel, I noticed you do it as well. Could you post
a diff -ruN GENERIC VBOOK for me please?

Thanks,

Boris
