Presuming that you are using the official Oracle package (not the OSE version) and have the extension pack installed, you shouldn't have any problems: I have several XP instances running in VBox on Linux hosts with no issues. Did you fully purge all of the old versions of VirtualBox prior to installing the latest version? Is your problem that you can't map physical USB devices to the XP VM properly? That works here as well. Clarify a little bit so we can get to the bottom of it.
