Hello Robin and Jan, Try the following:
* Set up the VM using the VirtualBox Qt GUI, including selecting the installation CD image * Start the VM from the commandline (substitute the correct VM name for "VM name") using the command: VBoxSDL -startvm "VM name" -nopatm -nocsam -norawr3 -norawr0 You can experiment with leaving off various of the -no* options. These are all switches which turn off advanced virtualisation features which can cause problems with "tricky" guests.
