Yosemite 10.10.2 and Virtualbox 4.3.X Crash System

[tekmanforce]

After migration from 4.2.28 to any version of 4.3.X the Yosemite OS crash with memory fault error. This event is just with this version and Guest Windows 7.

[Frank Mehnert]

This diagnostics is from VBox 4.2.28 so not useful. We don't have problems on Yosemite hosts. Is there any crash information available, any kernel log?

Well, I confirm that this issue exists in VirtualBox 4.3.26 Story is next.

• on MacMini I did have long time 10.8
• then I did upgrade to 10.10. installed on existed 10.8
• also I have upgrade VirtualBox from ... to 4.3.26
• Aslo we have Jenkins on this machine.

Next day we have start to see that Jenkins lose connections to virtual machines (2 machines, Win and Linux). While other host-computers did work fine ...

Finally we have found in Console.app that VirtualBox crashes? and produce many wakes_resource.diag files ...

Also we see in logs another trouble message as

On Google it is possible to find talks about both this trouble ... and most without clean solution ...

Right now I will try downgrade to 4.2.28, because it seems original author of this issue says it did worked fine for him on Mac OS 10.10

[Frank Mehnert]

ruslan_zasukhin, the original report is about a Mac OS X host crash. From your report I understand that you saw a VM process crash, is that correct?

And I still would like to see crash reports.

[Flex Gao]

Confirm this, my OS is 10.10.3, VBox version is 4.3.28. Seems the kernel panic only occurs on booting win7 vm, sometimes.

Attachment is the panic report

[aeichner]

Can you please attach the VBox.log for the run which caused the crash? Even if it will be incomplete it can contain useful information like load addresses for our R0 modules wihch makes it easier to get a meaningful stack trace.

[Flex Gao]

@aeichner I searched the Log dir, but not found any log file associated with this crash. The crash occurred immediately after booting the VM
