BSOD in VBoxGuest.sys after CHKDSK in Win2K SP4

[NelsonK]

Hi!

I'm running a Windows 2000 Pro SP4 guest under VirtualBox 2.1.4 with a Windows XP Pro SP3 host and found a problem after the run of a scheduled CHKDSK /F of the system drive. After the completion of CHKDSK, when the VM is about to reboot, the guest stops with the following BSOD:

STOP: 0x000000D1 (0xF3E9E8E0, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xF3E9E8E0)
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Address F3E9E8E0 base at F3E98000, DateStamp 49998ef7 - VBoxGuest.sys

I'm using Guest Additions 2.1.4 but tested with 2.1.2 too with the same result. I tested with a Ubuntu 8.10 host (VB 2.1.4) too and the result was the same.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi vbox4me2,

Thank you for your help but the MSKB article that you pointed me is about a problem with Logitech drivers which I don't have installed and my BSOD is in VBoxGuest.sys and not Kbdclass.sys

Anyway, I've found the culprit of the BSOD and it's Guest Additions 2.1.4/2.1.2. I've installed the Guest Additions 2.0.0 and now the VM reboots without BSOD after CHKDSK.

Thanks.

I have the exact same issues with Windows 2000 SP4 guest, Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit) host, and VirtualBox 3.0.2 (guest addition at 3.0.2 as well)

[NelsonK]

All Guest Additions after 2.0.0 seems to be affected (3.0.2 and 3.0.4 too). Other thing, the BSOD occurs only when the system drive is formatted with NTFS. If you're using FAT32 the issue doesn't occur.

Open up a ticket on bugtracker so the devs can pick it up.

Hi,

has anything changed on this? I got problems with it first time on 1st of January 2010 and though Win2k doesn't like the new year, but after a chkdsk I get the same error in vboxguest.sys, i.e. blue screen. How can I install an older guest addition? I never get to the point where that is possible.

Follow my sig to get older GA versions, I still use ga 2.08 for w2k.

I wonder if the user manual section 11.2.3 Windows 2000 fix helps in this situation?

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "<VMNAME>" "VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/IRQDelay" 1

Hi,

I tried my very best to follow instructions, but there are a couple of problems:

1. I can't install any guest addition to my Win2k guest, because I don't get far enough. The Blue Screen with the error of a failure with vboxguest.sys comes up immediately after the Windows splash screen.
2. Changing the setting as suggested in user manual section 11.2.3 didn't change anything.

Use a linux or bartpe image to access the disk, rename the .sys file.
