driver_irql_not_lesss_or_equal after 4.0.0 upgrade
XPSP3 host, XPSP3 guest, was vbox 3.2.12 - upgraded to 4.0.0, installed the new guest additions and rebooted - BSOD w/DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - I've tried re-installing the quest additions, no difference - it worked fine prior to this upgrade
any ideas?
thanks!

Did you install the Extension Pack?

Re: driver_irql_not_lesss_or_equal after 4.0.0 upgrade
another thing I found out - if I completely disable the 'Acceleration' options, VT-x/AMD-V:Nested Paging, it works fine - turn them back on, even one at a time, and BSOD
also, on another machine, Intel processor so the Nested Paging feature doesn't exist, everything works fine - makes me wonder if there's a problem with the implementation of the acceleration stuff on AMD (which the failing system has)

Fairly cryptic response for a package maintainer don't you think?Polynomial-C wrote:Still not fixed with 4.0.2 release...
What do you tell your users when they require help? Ahh, don't worry about sending any information I have my crystal ball handy?

Well as the symptoms were completely the same as described by bigfootnlc before I started some tests I was under the impression that another log file is not necessary. Furthermore this is no bug tracker so sorry if I confused this place with a forum... But here you have your information anyway.Perryg wrote:Fairly cryptic response for a package maintainer don't you think?Polynomial-C wrote:Still not fixed with 4.0.2 release...

After a couple of tests I can add the following information:
This problem seems to be only triggered with AMD-V being enabled (Unfortunately AMD-V gets forcibly enabled when I assign more than one CPU to the guest system). In this case you can encounter two different blue screens. The "irql_not_lesss_or_equal" one reported by bigfootnlc always shows up when nested paging is enabled. The second one sometimes pops up when nested paging is disabled. This second blue screen then reports "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area" but it doesn't always show up. I've seen both variants of blue screens with disabled nested paging.
P.S.: Thanks for your highly professional and warm "welcome"...

Re: driver_irql_not_lesss_or_equal after 4.0.0 upgrade
You're welcome and thank you for the information.
There is a bugtracker. bugtracker
Looking at your log I see that you are running your own compile of VirtualBox.
I am also seeing a lot of runtime errors for audio, VRDP/VRDE errors. Most of these are usually from compiling errors. Are you sure that you have the right depends installed?

Re: driver_irql_not_lesss_or_equal after 4.0.0 upgrade
fwiw... i'm getting the same problem.
host:
Win7 32bit on atom D550
VirtualBox 4.0.2 w/ Extension Pack
guest:
Debian 5.07 x86
APIC turned off
PAE turned off
I seemed to work relatively problem-free up to the point i installed the guest additions. I'm going to uninstall, reboot and reinstall without the extension pack and see what happens.

@OhMeadhbh,
Care to share your guests log file (as an attachment)?

Re: driver_irql_not_lesss_or_equal after 4.0.0 upgrade
You're right OhMeadhbh. Installing the 3.2.12 guest additions seems to help. Now I can enable AMD-V and even nested paging without getting the blue screen in my WinXP guest.
Please note that I still have virtualbox-4.0.2 installed on my host system.

Re: driver_irql_not_lesss_or_equal after 4.0.0 upgrade
More interesting information...
I stumbled about this bug report: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8090
After that I uninstalled AntiVir on my XP guest and reinstalled 4.0.2 guest additions et voila... everything works again with AMD-V as well as nested paging being enabled...

Re: driver_irql_not_lesss_or_equal after 4.0.0 upgrade
Well, I finally got around to installing 4.0.2, after uninstalling AntiVir from the guests. Everything seems to work great now with one exception: for 64-bit guests (I'm running a 32-bit XP host), AMD-V acceleration MUST be DISABLED or I get a stop error at startup. If I leave AMD-V disabled, everything works fine.
I still think they've got a problem with how they're handling AMD-V in 4.0.
