OK, tried the video capture but the video file never shows up. That is, I used settings on vbox manager panel to enable video capture. Start the bootup and I can see the video camera icon in bottom right of vm window spinning as it should. But, when the `panic' shows up I click the camera Icon as the directions say to do to end capture and retrieve the vid file. At the point of `panic'.. clicking the camera has no effect and it continues to spin. Trying to guess when the panic is about to happen and clicking just ahead of the event does not produce a video file, nor does it stop the camera spinning. I did get a screenshot but it is very limited showing only a couple dozen lines of the boot messages. (attached at the end.) The log produced by Vbox is useless and I could see nothing useful in it. It is some kind of codified account of the VBox actions and has nothing to say about the OS in the vm. I'm pretty sure the `panic' has nothing to do with the VBox controller. I'm at the point now, after at least 5 reconfigurings and rebuilds of the kernel, to no avail, that I'm going to try the genkernel approach. I've never used genkernel, but from what I understand it builds everything + the kitchen sink.. so should get the right drivers hopefully.
