I've set up a Virtualbox VM (Windows XP) with a hard disk image (.vdi) that was previously used on a Windows 7 host. When setting up the new VM on FreeBSD, everything seemed to go fine, I can start the machine, with

service vboxheadless start and then check status with service vboxheadless status which shows it running. I can also VNC to the new VM, where I'm greeted with a Windows XP error message to the effect of an improper shutdown, and choices to boot in safe modes or normally. It freezes after choosing any selected. If I then run service vboxheadless stop that also freezes until I CTRL-C to get a prompt and then ps aux | grep VBoxManage shows me that there is still the following running: root 2054 0.0 0.1 111972 15204 1 S 15:46 0:02.93 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VBoxManage controlvm winxp_ms savestate
. So I cannot stop it either (note, i have tried running and stopping as another user too, this was an attempt with root to eliminate possible permissions issues). I thought I had somehow damaged the .vdi file, but upon returning it to my windows 7 machine, it booted without issue.Here is the .vbox file:
