[opensuse-factory] Problems with recent acpica packages and VirtualBox
There is a bug in recent acpica versions (https://github.com/acpica/acpica/issues/462) that miscompile the VirtualBox BIOS. This problem has been seen on Windows 7 VMs, where is causes a Blue Screen upon boot. Windows 10 and XP VMs are OK, as are all Linux VMs tested to date. At the moment, if you must use Win 7 VMs, you will need to install VirtualBox 6.0.4, or 5.2.28 obtained from Oracle.
