If VirtualBox really does depend on usbfs being mounted there under /sys, that is particularly brain dead: you'd never end up with that configuration even by copying what other people do.

I'll have to check that out, thanks! Could just be an installer mistake, but if something in VB depends on it being there that's a bug I could file I guess. Sucks that it breaks HAL though.

That sounds like they are mounting usbfs over /sys/bus/usb/devices. If programs use usbfs at all, wouldn't they expect to find it in /proc/bus/usb? If that's the case, does unmounting usbfs make a difference? Ewww. That sounds like they are mounting usbfs over /sys/bus/usb/devices.
