kernel oops starting XP

[bret mcdanel]

Preamble I am using SVN as of Jan 25, r6516. I am attempting to install XP (original no service pack installer). It will get to the point that it says 'Setup is starting Windows' and then I get the oops and the guest OS freezes.

Trying to close does nothing, a kill is the only way to get the window to go away. The use counter of the kernel module never decrements when I do this, which means that it can never be unloaded save a reboot.

My system This is a intel core2 laptop, running debian (generally testing), custom kernel, 2.6.23 + kernel mode linux (I am not running virtual box in kernel mode at this time).

I am running from the build directory.
