‘trying to dual-boot Vista and Debian Lenny. Hosed the MBR a couple of times. Couldn’t resurrect with Clonezilla images. Decided to try VirtualBox. Reading…reading…now it sounds like KVM is what I really want!

Thanks a lot. Found your website while searching for kvm and dhcp. Disabling dnsmasq was the step I was missing.

I also viewed my usage of VirtualBox in much the same way. VBox is great for small, transient hosts, but for hosts with a longer longevity, I chose to switch to Xen (or KVM). I took it one step further and now have a small one-line shell script that completely automates the installation of a CentOS guest in Xen using libvirtd. I created a small how-to on my blog illustrating how to do it. http://blog.subaquatic.net/archives/kickstarting-a-xen-paravirtualized-guest/
