Description
I've been using VirtualBox for many years and upgrading each new version (now v.4.3.10) on Kubuntu Linux (e.g. Ubuntu Linux on KDE desktop) which has also been upgrading every 6 months - now Kubuntu 14.04). But since v.4.3 the guest vm has been getting slow boot, particularly since upgrading to v. 4.3.10 and Kubuntu host's been upgraded to latest version 14.04. Now the Windows 7 Ultimate guest just hangs on boot at "Starting Windows" and the Kubuntu host freeses for about 20 minutes, then the guest closes self abnormally and the host resumes functioning; at the same time when the guest closes abnormally, the wireless connection on the Kubuntu host also loses connection and can't be reconnected - I have to reboot the host to reconnect the wireless connection. I'm attaching 3 VirtualBox logfiles here for you to look at the problem.

Which type of partition are your vmdk locate on (/home/superuser/VirtualBox VMs/)? Is that btrfs or something like that?
