![]() ![]() ![]() It is certainly related to recent VirtualBox versions (probably 3.2). (guest) task switching: it’s really the only think in common to the various crashes I can think of.IDE DMA: I didn’t even need to test this, as it was off by default in the new guest installation, and I got two guru meditations before I could enable the DMA :).disk activity: I managed to complete a full defrag (about 10 minutes) with no crash - of course it crashed soon afterwards as I started doing other things.network activity: crashes happen in situations where network is certainly not used.network cards: one (NAT) or two (NAT + vboxnet), no apparent difference.graphics: crashes with VBE driver as well as default VGA driver.mouse: crashes even if I never use the mouse, from guest boot to the crash.HW virt: my processor doesn’t support that.To be on the safe side, I tried starting a new virtual disk and reinstalling from scratch, but nothing changed it’s still extremely unstable. Some recent change in VirtualBox has made Windows 98 SE completely unusable: it will crash within a few minutes of interaction (idling seems not to be an issue). ![]()
