I've got a fc8 and a CentOS 5 on a virtual box and have no problems with  
it.
Maybe fc4/6 has some driver issues with the box?

But evrything works fine for me.
I use the box from a external HD sometimes on fc9 and sometimes from a  
Debian 4 host.

Have you compiled the virtual box by yoursel or do you use the
Distribution packages?
