VB freezes the system: Ubuntu-9.10 client on FreeBSD-8.0 host

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have ports virtualbox-ose-3.1.4 and virtualbox-ose-kmod-3.1.4 installed
2. Create Ubuntu VM with all default values
3. Add ubuntu-9.10 CD image as a CDROM
4. Make CDROM the first bootable device
5. Run the machine, installer will run.
6. System freezes in the moddle of install

Additional info:
VB (3.1.2?) worked very well with Ubuntu client up to the end of January or
early February. At this time some kernel patch was submitted that made VB
freeze the system right after virtual machine start. After upgrading VB to
3.1.4 system stopped freezing at the beginning of the run, and instead
freezes in the middle of install.

Problem makes VirtualBox unusable, and disrupts the work in general due to
the need to reboot the machine.
