VERR_REM_TOO_MANY_TRAPS when virtual machine is left running over the weekend

[Stéphane Charette]

This is the 3rd weekend in a row where I come in on Monday morning and find my linux development environment running in a virtualbox has crashed. I no longer have the machine with the first 2 logs (hard drive was formatted last week). But the crash over this weekend is on a brand new virtualbox, on a newly-installed Dell system purchased last week. I do have the logs for this recent crash and will attach to this ticket.

The log file contains:

4832:40:32.572 VERR_REM_TOO_MANY_TRAPS -> uTrap=e error=2 next_eip=ffffe400 eip=ffffe400 cr2=00000042

New host environment is: Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit running on a Dell Intel quad-core with 4 gb of ram. Guest environment is: Ubuntu 7.10 32-bit running in a 1gb ram virtualbox

I have only one VB guest environment defined.

I'm using VirtualBox 1.5.4 r27034 linux.amd64 (Dec 29 2007 08:56:18) downloaded from the VB web site.

Please could you retry with VirtualBox 1.5.6? There were some fixes in that release which might be related to your problem.

[Stéphane Charette]

Thanks, Frank. Unfortunately, I no longer have this dev environment as I'm now working on a different project. This bug report can be closed from my perspective.

Is this related to #866 (VERR_REM_TOO_MANY_TRAPS with v1.6)?
