Guru mediation (pgmPoolTrackPhysExtDerefGCPhys) while linux guest shutdown/log out

[Al Panfilov]

After upgrade VBox from 2.1.0 to 2.1.2 (on WinXP SP2) guest OS (AltLinux Desktop 4.1) crashes with the message "A critical error has occured while running the virtual machine...". It happens on guest shutdown/user logout. The Guest Additions was upgraded from 2.0.6 to 2.1.2 (because 2.1.0 did not work properly with keymap switching). Downgrading the Guest Additions to 2.0.6 did not solve the problem.

I seem to have the same problem. I get a critical error messages after shutting down the vm or logging out. I get the error message right after getting the message that that the os reports the mouse integration is not active. My host is Zenwalk 5.4 and the guests that are experiancing this problem are also variations of Zenwalk. I do have two windows vm; one is XpPro and the other is Windows 7. They do not have this critical error problem, although I do swear that it happen once on the Win 7 the first time I started under VB2.1.2. All these vm were created with early version of VB and worked normally under 2.1.0. When intial started on 2.1.2, they all had GuestAdditions 2.1.0 installed. Also, even though I get thses critical error, the vm's all boot up and seem to be operating without any other issues.

Critical error message - Zenwalk host, ZenwalkGnome guest

Can you reproduce this easily? If so, would you be willing to try out a test build?

[laprjns]

Well, if your asking me, then yes I can reproduce the problem. and yes I am willing to try out a test build. I actually package VirtualBox -OSE for Zenwalk distribution, so I could even build from source if you want . I was testing my build of 2.1.2 when I got the error . I have four different Zenwalk variants VMs that all throw the critical error message when either logging out or shutting down. My Windows 7 VM does not throw the critical error message. My host is Zenwalk 5.4.

laprjns: in that case you can build from OSE right now to see if it's fixed. Thanks.

[laprjns]

ok, will build a package from svn tonight. Thanks

[laprjns]

Sorry,I'm having some problems building the package (not VirtualBox related) but I think I've got them resolved now. Will be testing soon.

[laprjns]

I downloaded and built svn version 16491. With this build I get normal shutdowns on all my ZW virtual machine. Problem seems to be resolved, thanks Rich

I think I'm still affected by this bug with version 2.2.2. The VM crashes in the described way, always on logout, sometimes even on login, but only if the virtualbox-guest additions are installed and vboxvideo is used as driver. It happens with both ose-additions (built from source) and binary additions.

[Heinz Wiesinger]

Seems I have been wrong with my previous assumption. I just installed Slackware-current in a new VM and it crahed right after the first "startx". Log attached.

Closing as we think the problem was fixed, see #3124.

[Frank Mehnert]

Well, reading through the comments above I'm not that sure that this is indeed a duplicate of #3124. So please reopen if that problem still occurs for someone with VBox 2.2.4 or VBox 3.0.4.
