Vbox 2.2.0 OSE on Debian Lenny 2.6.29.1

[mr040]

Hello,

I've got a problem getting VirtualBox OSE 2.2.20 run on Debian Lenny. I'm running 2.6.29.1.

The application & kernel module compiles without any problems. The kernel module loads fine according to dmesg:

Code: Select all

"vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...
vboxdrv: Successfully done.
vboxdrv: Found 2 processor cores.
vboxdrv: fAsync=0 offMin=0x15f offMax=0x708
vboxdrv: TSC mode is 'synchronous', kernel timer mode is 'normal'.
vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 2.2.0_OSE (interface 0x000a0009)."

But when ever I try to power up a virtual machine I get the following error (disk image or partition):
"Unknown -1909 error during initialization of Runtime"

"Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Machine
Interface:
IMachine {13420cbb-175a-4456-85d0-301126dfdec7}"

I've tried to remove the .VirtualBox directory which did not help and am a member of the correct group. I've tried assigning 192 - 1024 MB of RAM to the VM and different 'ide controllers' with no luck.

Any one else experience this problem?

what happens if you create a new machine ?

If you remove the .VirtualBox folder, all your VMs will be lost (unless you save them somewhere else), so he already did create a new VM.


mr040, did you check the thread about 2.6.29 and debian? Have you tried the PUEL version? Those in the other thread had no issues with it.
