VirtualBox VM crashes whilst using debugger.

Hi I am using the Eclipse C/C++ tooling to debug a C application under Ubuntu 8.10 64Bit in a VirtualBox VM (2.0.4) under Vista 64.

Under the covers eclipse is running gdb.

Between 1 and 5 launches of my debug session the VirtualBox VM crashes out popping a box indicating that an error has occured. It offers the choice of stopping the VM or debugging.

Looking in the log files it generates it would appear that the error is something to do with:

Code: Select all

Guru Meditation -4005 (VERR_VMX_UNABLE_TO_START_VM)

Any assistance would be appreciated.

This is a known bug. Debuggers seem to have problems when they are running in VB. It is currently under investigation as of why it happens and how to solve that. For the time being, do the debugging on a non-virtual machine.
