   I'm testing with i386/HEAD. I have two issues :

       1.- The first time I start a machine. The window stays gray. If
I pause and resume the window turns to
black. Virtualbox says it is running, but it is not.

       2.- The second and subsequent times I start a virtual machine,
virtualbox says that there isn't the kernel driver. The
error is :

    Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
    Component: Machine
    Interface: IMachine {4d1df26d-d9c1-4c7e-b689-15e85ecf8ffc}

  And :

            Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

            Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

  What can be done ?

   Regards,

  Gustau
