Hello community!
It is the first time I have a big problem with VirtualBox. Please help me to fix it. Whenever I try to start any VM old or new it crashes my Mac, forcing it to restart. It gives me this message after restarting:

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
- What changed in your system between before and after the Kernel Panics (KP) started happening? Think hard.
- Did you try to uninstall/reinstall VirtualBox? Which version?
- I'm not good at reading KP logs, but please zip the whole log and attach it.

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
Wow! Thanks for the quick reply.
1. I installed XAMPP, and nothing more.
2. Yes. I tried to reinstall the latest version.
3. Done

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
Can you tell me what another hypervisor is doing in the system? I'm not familiar with it, but a quick search for "Bluestacks Hypervisor" returns mostly how to remove results, malware results and crash results. Maybe?loaded kexts: com.bluestacks.kext.Hypervisor 4.3.26

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
Oh I wasn't familiar with the hypervisor term (up until now that I googled). Bluestacks is an Android Emulator, I use it everyday for work reasons.
However I tried running VB with Bluestacks opened and closed. Even looked for an open process after closing it. It keeps crashing
And just tried another VM software to see if it crashes too. It didn't. However I already have a VM in VB and I like VB. And what keeps me clueless is that I ran a VM yesterday. Had one crash, but after restart it worked normally.
PS: Ohh, I'm so sorry. Saved it directly from macOS's textEdit. But worry no more, I changed the app settings in order to use .txt by default. Thanks for the feedback

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
It wouldn't make a difference. A kext (Kernel EXTension) loads typically during boot time and stays loaded. So, if there's a conflict, it's going to be there the whole time. From the search results it seems that it is difficult to uninstall Bluestacks, so I don't know what else to think of. See if you can give it a shot.Geost wrote:However I tried running VB with Bluestacks opened and closed.
Now, if you're sure that the only thing that you changed in your system was to install XAMPP, that doesn't compute, because it has nothing to do with the kexts and their potential conflict. I'll try to think of something better in the morning.

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
Thanks, I'll try uninstalling Bluestacks in order to see what happens. I'll keep you updated. Have a nice night

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
Here's what I've found so far. The most important clue (for non-developers like us) is the first line of the panic report:
Now, a more general search for type 6=invalid opcode virtualbox turned out a lot more results. There is a open-source virtualization app called xhyve, in whose forums I found several reports that their systems are kernel panicking and they blame VirtualBox. From what I've read, OSX 10.10 introduced the Hypervisor.framework:
Since you're using Bluestacks, that's most probably the reason. To me it smells like a VirtualBox bug, but I'm not a developer. As I said, head to the bugtracker and let them know.
PS. Man this was a rewarding two-hour Hercule Poirot clue hunting
panic(cpu 3 caller 0xffffff802c3ce5fa): Kernel trap at 0xffffff802c3c9054, type 6=invalid opcode, registers:
A search for "type 6=invalid opcode" site:virtualbox.org, turned out a few results (9). Read them, including ticket #15097 that looks very similar to yours, and maybe add your comment and point them to this discussion.Now, a more general search for type 6=invalid opcode virtualbox turned out a lot more results.

Now, since you have another virtualization product, which I'll assume makes use of the HyperVisor.framework, that's why you get the kernel panics (most probably). This is almost always the case with all the reports that I've found; there is another virtualization program installed. There is actually a ticket (14217) to allow VirtualBox to use said framework.The Hypervisor framework provides C APIs for interacting with virtualization technologies in user-space, without the need for writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). As a result, apps created using this framework are suitable for distribution on the Mac App Store.

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
You are amazing! Thanks for all that research. You are indeed right. To confirm, I uninstalled Bluestacks and VBox worked without crashing my Mac. However I will have to install it again since I need it for work.
Thank you very much Socratis. I will report the bug.
Wish you a great day

Re: Running VirtualBox VM crashes El Capitan
Don't open a new bug. You better should go to the already opened ticket #15097, otherwise you're creating more noise than signal for the DEVs. Point them to this discussion. I'm not really sure that the DEVs are aware about the issues of concurrent use of VirtualBox with the HyperVisor.framework.Geost wrote:I will report the bug.
