Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install and see for yourself. 2. 3. Actual Results: load any OS in virtualbox and experience the slow performance Expected Results: should have worked as always, good performance and responsive interaction. workaround: install Oracle VM virtualbox 4.0.0 r69151 for suse x86_64 11.3 on opensuse 11.4 and all your problems are gone...... the client virtualbox software inside the OS is still on 4.0.4, so that is apparently not the issue. cheers RG -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

openSUSE as a guest is slow under virtualbox and changing the virtualbox version fixes it? Isn't that a virtualbox bug then?

the problem is fixed by updating suse to latest kernel.
