------
Right now, if you have (any version of) VirtualBox running and attempt to run
xhyve it will immediately crash your system as it triggers a kernel panic.
This is not a xhyve issue *per se*, since it runs in userspace, but a
VirtualBox one which just doesn't play nice with Hypervisor.framework.
(see issues [#5](https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/5) and [#9](https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/9) for the full context)
If you are, or were, running any version of VirtualBox, prior to 5.0, and
attempt to run xhyve your system will immediately crash as a kernel panic is
triggered. This is due to a VirtualBox bug (that got fixed in VirtualBox 5.0)
as VirtualBox wasn't playing nice with OSX's Hypervisor.framework used by
xhyve.
To get around this you either have to update to VirtualBox 5 (which got this
fixed definitively) or, if you for some reason are unable to update, to reboot
your Mac after using VirtualBox and before attempting to use xhyve.
