Invalid VMXON pointer when starting Win7 64-bit on debian

[eldaranne]

Hello,

I am having a weird issue while trying to start a Win7 64 bits VM on a Debian Squeeze.

I am running Virtualbox 4.3.2 and have VT-X enabled for the VM on the host.
It was created on a Mac OS X Mountain Lion, on version 4.2.16.
kvm and kvm-intel kernel modules are loaded (hence the bios option is well enabled).

But when I try to launch the VM I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage: error: Invalid VMXON pointer. (VERR_VMX_INVALID_VMXON_PTR)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Console, interface IConsole

I have been searching the web for hints but returned empy-handed...
I hope the differences of versions and OS between creation and hosting machines are not of influence.

Can anyone help me with this issue, it's starting to drive me nuts ?

Try unloading the kvm modules?

[eldaranne]

Yes, already tried that, same output.

Then post a VM log file please.

I'm not going to chase offsite links. Post it here as a zipped attachment.

Ok nevermind, we managed to reload the module vboxdrv and it finally worked.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks anyway.
