These are all past there EOL, also see my
remark below which certainly applies to these.

Looking at the above list it sounds to me
like you had the usb-tablet enabled in the vm
config, that is not a good idea for Linux versions
which have an xorg which does not support
device hotplug. May I suggest that you re-run
the tests without the usb-tablet enabled?

This may also help with the problems with other
operating systems.
