Windows 11 guests do not boot and try auto repair on 7.0.x, x>=4

Postby lorien_an_old_one » 26. Mar 2023, 21:20

Dear Users

It appears that my Windows 11 guests do not boot once I have updated to 7.0.4 or higher fedora versions of VirtualBox (use VB for fc36, although I run fc37)

In fact, once 7.04 or higher is installed the guests start claiming that need to do an auto repair, which fails of course. Once one gets back to 7.0.2 everything starts running again. The funny thing is that if I use a saved state WIN11 guest
it can run, once you keep saving its state.

Any comments?

This sounds like a good ticket for the Bugtracker. Please zip and include a working 7.0.2 run and a failing 7.0.6 run. Also, please throw in all the logs from the save-stated VM when run on 7.0.6.

Meanwhile, staying on an earlier version of Virtualbox that works is perfectly OK. 7.0 is still in bug-hunt phase.

Dear Users,

Some more details on the previous post. A virtual machine runs (when host is idle) codes that do molecular dynamics trajectories (exe from fortran compiled with gcc). The vb was modified for avoiding the summer time change of last weekend which would make an unwanted jump to the file stamps, where ideas for stopping summer time change were implemented as read from the web (followed blindly, hopefully with no error).

For the example logs here, a vb 7.0.2 was installed and a demo machine was saved and retrieved. Saved state under 7.0.2 and installed 7.0.6 which worked when state was recovered. Machine was ended normally but it can not restart when 7.0.6 is installed where it goes to auto repair. Then reinstalled 7.0.2 and things became normal (however, I lost the state and all my in memory computed data).

Thank you all for the time.

Some more logs. I apologize if these are not exactly what you would like to see.(i have copied the Vbox log at different time slots while the demo test was being executed)

There's a link there, that doesn't point to here. This issue won't even be looked at by the devs if you don't follow instructions.
