VirtualBox installation question.

[Lucélio Gomes de Freitas]

Reindl Harald,

I did exactly this.

I updated from Fedora14-x86_64 to Fedora16-x86_64 host, and I thought
VirtualBox-4.0 was ok. When I started Winvista64 Guest I got the message:

BOOTMGR is compressed Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart

I did it, and the Winvista64 boot started again and stoped at the same
point. In a loop. I thought that the problem was VirtualBox for
Fedora14. I removed it. So I installed Virtualbox-4.1-4.1.6 for
Fedora16-x86_64. The same thing is happening. Why bootmgr has changed?
Anybody helps? The guest machine was working untouched in a "Production"
more than a year. I only updated from Fedora14 to Fedora16.

I got from VirtualBox forum: "we don't really support (fully) the distro
branches of VirtualBox".

Would you please help to solve this problem.

thanks in advance.
