Unfortunately Google gives a lot of hits on this particular problem with VirtualBox, but no solutions. Have you made sure that the images match the checksum? If an install of 7.8 works, you can try doing a minimal install and doing a dist-upgrade to 8. You could also try switching to another shell during the install and see if it gives any further information about what went wrong. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
