Hope this helps. I removed openntpd completely and disabled time sync. The vm still freezes eventually. Also, I cannot set clocksource to anything else than acpi_pm

Let's go back to brainstorming mode, i welcome any new ideas.

OK,

Let's start over. I haven't a clue about your clocksource loop, but I would suggest rebuilding virtualbox using:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9753

Of all the different packages, I have had great luck with this one. Just download the tarball and untar/ungzip with:

tar -xzf virtualbox_bin.tar.gz

cd virtualbox_bin/

makepkg -s

sudo pacman -U virtualbox_bin-3.2.10-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Then test again.

That might help but if it where me I would build it using "A clean chroot" The instructions to do that is here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot That way you would not get anything you didn't bargain for ;)
