VirtualBox Headless segfaults on Solaris 10

Can anyone help me out?

I am having some issues getting VMs to run on my Solaris 10 host. I downloaded and installed VirtualBox-5.0.14-105127-SunOS from virtualbox[dot]org. After creating an Ubuntu 14.04 Server guest and trying to start it via "VBoxHeadless --startvm $VM", VirtualBox attempts to start then segfaults. My output is shown below. This is a fresh installation, and I can confirm VTx is enabled in my bios. I'm at a loss as to why it will not work. I have replicated the exact settings on a different machine and everything works fine :/

Code: Select all

root@archer:/home/open# VBoxHeadless --startvm Benoit
Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 5.0.14

Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
Edit: Added logs for a little more background information

Could you obtain the core dump of the failing process? See https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Core_dump on how to obtain a core dump for Solaris (no need for a system core dump, just the process core dump is sufficient).

Once you have the dump, please do "pstack <corefile>" and attach its output here.

Thanks for the updated procedure. I've attached an updated coredump for VBoxHeadless. What are your thoughts?
