Starting any guest causes crash

Post by Tiber »

Hello,

on a system with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ (the 65W variant) and a Gigabyte M61P-S3 board, virtualbox 1.3.8 crashes as soon as a guest is started. The OS is Debian Etch with kernel 2.6.18-4-k7 (SMP). I've tried Suse and Ubuntu as host OS as well, but virtualbox always crashes.

That's the the trace from the syslog:

Code: Select all

Any idea what's going wrong here? Maybe it's the same problem as reported in ticket #317 http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/317?

Is that a crash of the host OS?

Yes, it crashes on the host side. But it's not the OS that goes to hell, it's VirtualBox. As soon as I start a client, VirtualBox crashes. It really seems to be a problem with the CPU. I tried Suse, Ubuntu and Debian as host OS. I tried the latest release of VirtualBox as well as a SVN snapshot. If I run VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine and start it, it immediately crashes leaving a dead process behind, that I must kill manually.

Here's a screenshot when it crashed:

I don't have this problem on other machines with a different CPU.

I have the same problem, when I start a virtual machine the system crashes.
My system is Debian Lenny, kernel 2.6.21, CPU Core 2 Duo, virtualbox 1.4.0.

I experienced this on a Dell laptop....

with a transplanted vm, it turned out to be that the memory allocation for the vm was too high for the machine I was running it on.... tat
