I got past initial configuration and installation, but the system consistently froze when I tried to compile a new kernel. I switched to QEMU and haven't had any issues since. Aside from switching emulators, all I can suggest is to experiment with different host options and disable any hardware that's not absolutely necessary during installation. ~Preston On Apr 21, 2009, at 10:50 PM, Ramon de Vera wrote: > Has anyone else tried grabbing the latest Plan9 ISO (from the website) > and installing it via VirtualBox v2.2 ?
