VBox disk failures

[Reed Loefgren]

Hi.
 
I have been trying to get VBox 4.2.6 to work properly on an HP desktop.
dmesg says the CPU is:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  E2160  @ 1.80GHz (1795.54-MHz
686-class CPU)
 
When I run it (it builds fine from ports) and try to create a disk
(accepting the defaults) it fails with:
Callee RC:      NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004)
 
I get this no matter who's running it and it was happening with the late
4.1.x releases as well. Anyone know from this what is going on? Could it
be a kernel config? I'm not running GENERIC
 
Thanks!,
 
Reed
