Description
ACPI ERST supported by almost all modern motherboards/bioses. It allows to write kernel logs, including kernel panic dumps to special storage. Especially useful for catching and writing panic messages, when system is not able to write to generic partitions. Windows also supports writing to ERST during BSODs.

Hope VirtualBox will support ERST soon.
