starting a program causes Virtual Box critical Error

Post by ivo »

I'm using a Win XP machine on a Macbook with OSX 10.9 as host.
I currently depend on this machine for using the program Mind Express together with a communication aid.

With previous versions, this worked fine, but since the last update, when I start Mind Express, Virtual Box experiences an critical error and the VM exits. A backup of the virtual machine experiences the same.

For now, installed the previous version of virtual box (4.2.20),wich works fine, but at the moment I can't install recent versions due to this problem.

I'm running virtual box 4.3.4 with guest additions installed:
Host machine: Macbook 5,1, OSX 10.9
Processornaam: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processorsnelheid: 2 GHz
OS: OS X 10.9 (13A603)
L2-cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB

Guest machine: Windows XP 32bit
assigned memory in virtual box: 192MB, 22MB video memory

The log file doesn't seem to indicate a crash of the VM process. Is there any core files that are produced? See https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Core_dump that OS X section.

Hello Ramshankar,

I've followed the instruction on https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Core_dump. However, the /cores folder is empty. Is there another way to generat those files?

I've attached a new logfile, the terminal output generated during the instruction and a screendump.
Probably that helps.

Ah! Well now I see a guru meditation in the log. VERR_VMX_UNEXPECTED_INTERRUPTION_EXIT_TYPE.

Hello Ramshankar, thanks a lot, I'll use 4.2.20 until the next update then!
Good to know a fix is on its way!
