Running Karmic in VirtualBox hangs if I try to boot latest daily LiveCD's or installed in VirtualBox Karmic system using 2.6.31-11+ kernels, which I would like to run for l10n/i18n testing purposes inside virtual machine. At the same time Karmic Beta LiveCD and installed system are running OK with 2.6.31-11 kernel.

For me VirtualBox is working fine with the latest karmic kernel.
Is this still an issue with VirtualBox 3.0.8?
