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.
