Hi all, Sorry for the Newb question but I can't find much clarification of what this means via google search. Having seen that it's a generic kernel error message which just happens to be caused by Virtualbox, I do not think that Virtualbox is the culprit ?

Anything I can do to stop this message ?, a change in virtual disk file from vmdk to VDI or ...something ?
