Re: VirtualBox causing kernel panics

Unfortunately, heading back to 5.2.18 VirtualBox continues to have this panic. I booted into Recovery so I could get the kernel backtrace symbolicated. Full one is attached, but here's the relevant top chunk.

Does anyone have any suggestions at all? Seriously I'd take anything.

Code: Select all

Hey @pietpatat - was your system upgraded to High Sierra 10.13 from 10.12?
Looking at the release dates this is right around the time I bought this laptop, so it might have been on 10.13 from the start, not 100% sure on this.
Just stating the facts/dates here...
2018-07-09: 10.13.6 comes out. No major issues reported.
2018-10-16: 5.2.20 comes out.
2018-10-18: Unexplained kernel panic reports, start coming in.
Beware that I've encountered issues before 10.13.6 and 5.2.20. Not logged so maybe a bit of a useless statement as such, but just to give the complete information. I also just noticed I left out the dates in my combined log, but half of the kernel panics in that log were before 2018-10-16. (let me know if you need the full logs)
For this reason though, I don't see merit in going back to 5.2.18.

I did see there was a new macOS release last week, will upgrade to that soon and see how that goes.

Are you talking about 10.14? Because I haven't seen a 10.13.7 coming out, not even mentioned on the webs...

10.14 yes, https://www.apple.com/macos/mojave/

Yes, going to 10.14 is not an option at this point. Unless someone magically points me in the right direction I'm going to have to take larger steps (likely exporting those machines to a larger box/HD so I don't need to save the .vdi/disks through the thunderbolt cable).

10.14.x is not a good solution. VirtualBox with a windows 7 64bit guest is awful. I've never had a VirtualBox machine run this slow. It will pause for 30 seconds at a time just doing nothing. The mouse will still move though, but you can't click on anything. Then when shutting down the VM VirtualBox will close.

@brycesteiner
Please don't post on each thread that has issues with 10.14. You already opened your own thread "Serious Lag with Windows 7 Guest", after posting in the "a lot of crashing in Mohave" thread, plus you do not have a kernel panic, so please do not post in the thread called "VirtualBox causing kernel panics", it dilutes and confuses.
