/tmp/SBo/VirtualBox-3.1.6_OSE/src/VBox/Devices/PC/vbox.dsl  1076:
                0xdfdfffff,              // Range Length (calculated
Error    4118 -                                     Length is not
equal to fixed Min/Max window ^
----------

vbox.dsl is a file processed by iasl during compilation. The "Range Length" 
issue was mentioned alongside patches to fix it a couple of months ago on the 
vbox-dev mailing list.
