Mea culpa - I did not explain clearly:

I went to restore a closed (saved-state) CentOS window of VB.  It gets
most of the way up and then stops with this error:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine CentOS5.

pdmblkcache#0: The VM is missing a block device. Please make sure the
source and target VMs have compatible storage configurations [ver=1
pass=final] (VERR_SSM_LOAD_CONFIG_MISMATCH)..

>Details:

Result code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {515e8ed-f932-4d8e-9f32-79a52aead882}

I changed no hardware or anything else w.r.t. the basic configuration
of the host computer, and the last time this VM worked was only a
couple of weeks ago.

Also, I tried restarting all of the saved states of this VM and they
all fail for the same reason.  I'm pretty sure it was something else
that changed, and since the recent changes to Ubuntu happened right
before this, I thought maybe that was the cause.

I suppose I should go ask VB....
