Windows 10 Guest won't boot, kernel mode trap, 6.1.18, kernel 5.10.25

Post by slvr32 »

I have a Windows 10 (32-bit) guest that won't boot, kernel mode trap blue screen, etc... on VirtualBox 6.1.18 or the latest testbuild, 6.1.19-143292, with a Slackware64-current (20210320) Linux host, kernel 5.10.25, etc...

I've also tried booting a couple of Win10 32-bit isos, with the same error...

Win10_1607_English_x32.iso
Win10_20H2_v2_English_x32.iso (latest download from Microsoft today)

Last test was trying to boot from a Win10 64-bit iso... Win10_20H2_v2_English_x64.iso, which made the VM screen show a weird multi-colored block pattern, but the VM seems to be frozen at that point.

On the same laptop, I have two other VMs (older FreeBSD 9.3.x 32-bit and WinXP SP3) that still boot and run fine under VirtualBox 6.1.18 or newer testbuilds.

I have an older laptop running VirtualBox 6.1.18 with the same Windows 10 VM, on a Slackware 14.2 64-bit Host, 4.4.261 kernel, and the Win10 VM still boots and runs fine there.

Any tips on troubleshooting the Win10 VM that won't boot?

Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Since you have an i3-1005G1 10th gen Ice Lake CPU and are using Linux 5.8+, your problem may be related to this: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=101667
