Hmm. The eflags error is what I got with VirtualBox 1.5 and 7.x.

I had HZ = 100 in my 7.0-RELEASE guest (also on XP host), I’ve dropped it to 75 but still get those pesky “sigreturn: eflags = 0×080207″ errors. Shame no-one in the VirtualBox forums has an answer for this.

I have successfully run cvsup (both on src and ports) and buildkernel. Didn’t try buildworld yet since I didn’t need it. I had problems with VirtualBox 1.5 where it crashed but not yet on 1.6. My host is WinXP and guest is FreeBSD 8-CURRENT. The only tuning I did was to reduce kern.hz to 75.

Have you run csup/portsnap or built world successfully in the VM? Both these things manage to crash the VM in some way or another for me.
