Hung in VirtualBox. Why?

[kitepilot at kitepilot.com]

It was a blonde moment...    :)
I actually did my research, found, and fixed the issue.
It was a combination of several problems that I don't quite understand and 
that I don't quite care either.
It's working now.
Thanks!
Enrique 

PS: But it certainly feels cozy to have this resource to come crying...   :)
