Save VM state

Really common error on restore:

In my case that 100% reproducible when you use Intel PRO/100 Desktop Ethernet card emulation.

Host:Fedora9
Guest:Windows Xp
Interface: NAT IntelPRO/1000 Destop.

Press suspend/resume

OK, so you've made an observation. What is your question? what are you trying to solve. How and when did you create the VDI? Have you tried just unregistering the VDI and recreating the VM. Read the FPG. Give us the info that we need to help you. Show that this isn't just a repeat of one of those posts that you haven't researched. It's tough answering someone who wants to play twenty questions.

A good debugging method is to create a new VM with the same settings as your faulty one and see if it does the same there. If it doesn't, then there is something wrong with your VM installation. You can then continue installing packages and change settings until it's exactly the same as your other VM, one step at a time and when it starts to fail, you know where and can create a proper bug report.

I have been having this error lately as well. Here is the full text of the error:

Code: Select all

Unable to restore the virtual machine's saved state from '/home/patrick/.VirtualBox/Machines/XP/Snapshots/{236a2c6f-6f91-48f6-7c8e-d037a1945400}.sav'. It may be damaged or from an older version of VirtualBox. Please discard the saved state before starting the virtual machine.
VBox status code: -1825 (VERR_SSM_LOAD_CONFIG_MISMATCH).

VBox.log file is here: http://pastebin.com/f439cfdd3

I haven't upgraded VBox so that part of the message doesn't apply, and I doubt that anything happened to the save file itself in the 5 minutes between when I closed and then tried to restart.

I did do a bit of Googling and the only post that sounded possibly useful was: http://www.mail-archive.com/vbox-users@ ... 00980.html, however it suggests to disable audio and/or USB in the guest however neither are enabled to begin with.

Same issue.
Try to use "PCnet-PCI II" network adapter instead of "PCnet-FAST III" or use none. (Works for me)
