On Slackware64-current, pulled from slackware.at earlier today with a newly generated DVD ISO being used on VirtualBox 4.1.8, installation will fail during the actual package installation portion. On random packages (I have tried from scratch several times), the script will freeze completely with no error message. However, switching to a second console and using dmesg yields a repeating error message about installpkg as a hung task, followed by a call trace.

Anyone else experiencing this problem on VirtualBox or otherwise? I'm trying a full install except for emacs, KDE, KDEI, and TeX, on an ext4 root fs with a 2gb swap, have tried with 2 and with 3 processors in the VM (host is a quad core SMP running -current as of about a month ago).

I just tried to install it in my VirtualBox, worked fine here.

Created a DVD Image, but I excluded source/, then made a full install
only left out KDE KDEi and TeX. Also made 2GB swap and root was ext4.

There was no error and now it wants to install lilo etc...

My VirtualBox is version 4.1.14, host System is slackware64-current uptodate.

Try to update VirtualBox maybe that helps.

Greetings

After upgrading to the latest virtualbox, the error seems to have disappeared, and the install went fine. Virtualbox.org happened to be not responding for me when I originally posted, so I couldn't try to upgrade at the time... just my luck. Thanks for the input, hotchili.
