- The log is from 2012. It looks like it was created around 2010. Have you ever run this VM? Recently?
- The log is from VirtualBox 4.2.4. Are you still on that version?
- The log is in the XML format, which is even older than the 4.0.x series. Did you create this VM yourself?
- Post the output of the following:

Now that you mention this I thought harder and remembered, that I recreated my OPENSTEP 4.2 using the old vdi. So now I have that old VM ruin in /Volumes/Data/VirtualBox VMs/ and a new VM in ~/VirtualBox VMs/ which has the same name as the old one. Hence my confusion. Copying the new OPENSTEP 4.2 VM and the vdi from the old installation to a new host worked fine, I just had to adjust one path inside the .vbox xml:
Code: Select all
<VirtualBox xmlns="http://www.virtualbox.org/" version="1.12-macosx">
<Machine uuid="{10562ebb-db54-4287-a6e4-6112a7ba210d}" name="OPENSTEP 4.2" OSType="Other" snapshotFolder="Snapshots" lastStateChange="2017-04-17T00:25:36Z">
<MediaRegistry>
<HardDisks>
<HardDisk uuid="{a0632109-cce0-4531-b40f-52710f36d4e1}" location="OPENSTEP 4.2.vdi" format="VDI" type="Normal"/>
</HardDisks>
</MediaRegistry>

To answer your other questions: Yes, I created the original VM myself, it was the very same VM which I later had sent to the engineers at VirtualBox which helped them to implement support for OPENSTEP. Maybe you'll still find those bugs in the bug tracker, as you said this support happened long ago. Of course I run a newer version of this VM (but still the same vdi) nowadays in VirtualBox Version 5.1.22 r115126 (Qt5.6.2)

OK, thanks, marking as [Solved].
Although I have to say that the snippet in your answer did not look like the XML you posted originally. Maybe it's the older one. Good thing is that you sorted your duplicates at the end.

The snippet xml is from the newer installation in ~/VirtualBox VMs/, what I have originally posted was the old installation.
Btw. I found the ticket:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3152
it is from times when VirtualBox was still closed source owned by innotek and not already bought by SUN.
