Does your VM use a SCSI or IDE controller?
I'm using VM with IDE controler at the moment, and I made one with SCSI controler. Both work without problems. I found this at VirtualBox bug tracker (http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2811) "CRUX 2.5 CD-ROM fails to boot When booting the CRUX 2.5 ISO, it stops at "Loading modules... IDE" and VirtualBox crashes. The bug occurs on Windows and Linux hosts for me. When booting the CD-ROM with "CRUX noide" it boots successfully. As a side node, the CRUX 2.5 ISO works fine with QEMU and also on real hardware. " HTH Pedja -- Was it worth it? Yes. Would I do it again? No. -- Ken Thompson
