I made a brand new VM - no OS or anything - and attached my onboard NIC to it, after installing the latest extpack the VM fails on start with general failure:



I've tried it first while the NIC was on [edit: on the host] and then I did 'modprobe -r' [again, on the host] on it and tried again, same picture. The machine started normally after detaching the PCI (into a missing boot drive)

The host is a Dell Optiplex 960 3.16GHz Core2 Duo with Q45 chipset (from what I can tell), running uptodate Ubuntu 11.04, VT-d is checked on in the BIOS.

Here are just the basics, I'm also attaching all the logs it created

EDIT:

CONFIG_DMAR should be enabled on my kernel as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/552311 and I just thought these might be appropriate as well, although I can't tell if it's good or bad:

Please also attach the output of 'dmesg' from the host after you tried to start this VM.

Attached.

Actually that dmesg doesn't have the intel_iommu=on boot option, which is why that log says IOMMU not found, I have this log with the boot option where it finds IOMMU, but I still get a general failure trying to start it.

Just posting to say I'm still getting this on b3 with b3 extension pack. dmesg and VBox.log attached

I'm still getting this with release, should I open a ticket?

I would repost here first.
