VB 4.2.16 r86992 on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4. The VM is Win7 Ultimate SP1.

Since upgrading to 4.2.16, I get the following error every time I quit VB, save state, and then re-start the VM after re-starting VB. I've done the usual, i.e. repaired disk permissions, re-installed VB (and the extension pack and the tools). Same error, every time I try to re-start the VM from a saved state.

The error message says:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7.

No error info.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_CALL_FAILED (0x800706BE)
Component: ProgressProxy
Interface: IProgress {c20238e4-3221-4d3f-8891-81ce92d9f913}

The last three lines in the log file are:
!!Assertion Failed!!
00:00:05.411045 Expression: !VMCPU_FF_ISSET(pVCpu, VMCPU_FF_INTERRUPT_PIC)
00:00:05.411046 Location : /Users/vbox/tinderbox/4.2-mac-rel/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/PDM.cpp(902) int pdmR3LoadExec(VM*, SSMHANDLE*, uint32_t, uint32_t)

I saw another "can't start any VM" problem here, but my problem is just on a re-start. After the abort, I can re-start the VM (from boot) without problem. They just won't re-start.

The only change has been the upgrade of VB; I haven't done any Windows Updates since that upgrade.

Any ideas?

Did you upgrade with saved states? Is this happening with only one VM or any of your VM?

No, and this is my only VM.

Could you try creating another VM and do the same test?
