Hello, Alexander!
I try to run Win7 32-bit (appropriate win7.vdi is quite small, less than 2G). I've read previsously that current vbox port does not support 64-bit guest systems.
I injected several debug messages into usb_drv and rump_fs. It seems that usb_drv (and underlying layers) works correct (scsi_cmdn.result is always 0), while rump_fs reports that rump_sys_pread always return -1. Also vbox did several writes into win7.vdi, and rump_sys_pwrite always return requested amount of bytes! Moreso, vbox successfully creates /Logs dir, but it's empty. So I suspected either original rump library or part_blk.
Still investigating this puzzle.

the output looks good. The VM started and is running, switches resolutions - so in general all is up.
So, things you may try:
- run your setup on current genode master branch instead of the 15.11
release. We fixed issues in the usb driver (storage) and nova kernel, which may affect you.
- you may set the virtual CPU count to 1 in your .vbox file for the moment
- set HardwareVirtExUX to false in your .vbox file (but keep it on true
if it does not change anything)
- Do you run a 32bit or 64bit VM ? Which Windows version, or Linux, ... ?
Hope it helps,
Alexander.
