Simon Well really it has to be a bug in VBox ultimately, as it really shouldn't accept any configuration so borked that it crashes itself, let alone the whole OS. I must admit I have seen a whole lot of badly crashy behaviour myself with the VBox/Debian combo, although not so much recently - it's nearly always graphics related. If you run your VMs headless via vboxmanage and only connect via vRDP or SSH it's a lot more stable. Anyway, VBox is still more stable on Linux than VMware Workstation, which crashes so much I've had to block it from reporting to aport every reboot.
