VirtualBox crashes on reboot after Fedora/Ubuntu installatn

Post by thetester »

I am using VirtualBox 4.2.6 on Windows 8 as host. Installing any Linux flavour Fedora/Ubuntu causes VirtualBox to crash when I press tge "Reboot" button (on the Linux screen) after installation is complete.

VBoxSVC log is as below.

Code: Select all

It's actually the VM log we need, rather than the VBoxSVC log. The VM log file is called "VBox.log", and can be found in the "Logs" subfolder of your VM folder. Also, please post it as a .zip attachment, as that saves server space and ensures that you're unlikely to hit the attachment size limit.

I don't see anything obvious. What happens if you unmount the CD from the VM?

Thanks for the reply again.
I seem to have solved the problem. I force unmounted the virtual drive (I was using .iso file as a virtual drive for the installations) just before pressing the reboot button. VirtualBox did not crash this time. However, I had to send a manual "Power off" and restart the VM again. It worked!

Thanks for the support

I have had this issue of the VM crashing at first reboot. How did I solve it; I uninstalled (removed) the latest version of Oracle VM(VirtualBox-4.3.6-91406-Win) which I was using. Then I installed an older version (VirtualBox-4.1.26-84997-Win). It worked great and I never had this issue again. Please try it and post a feedback to let me if it worked for you. I hope this helps someone.
