Description

I use debian sid/squeeze as guest operating system an let Windows XP working under Virtualbox. After upgrading from version 2.1 to 2.2 every second to third start of Windows XP fails. After pressing the start button, the Windows window opens and it happens nothing. After closing the window by pressing the terminate cross in the right corner I get in /var/log/messages the following output:

VBoxSVC[5382]: segfault at 1f6dcc0 ip 0000000001f6dcc0 sp 00007fff9ba7c918 error 1

On the other hand sometimes virtualbox starts without every problems.

If I understood you correct, your host is Debian and your guest is Windows XP. Any chance to provide me a ​core dump? If so, please could you contact me directly at frank _dot_ mehnert _at_ sun _dot_ com?

I have a similar problem.

Host Debian stable/lenny. Fully updated. VirtualBox: "virtualbox-2.2, 2.2.0-45846_Debian_lenny".

Also very "random" problems. Sometimes it work's perfectly, other times similar problems as Gummibaer.

My problems also started after upgrading to 2.2.0, but... More or less at the same time I started to use XP as guest frequently (Win2k before) and started to use an USB-card reader from the guest.

So, my problem might be related to version 2.2.0 or be related to the USB-card reader usage or...

Please let me know if I can help in hunting this bug down. I haven't gotten any core files but maybe I have to "do" something to make them appear?

BTW, A big thank's to the VirtualBox developers for this great product!

Appending some recent messages from /var/log/messages. And once again, let me know if I can provide any other useful information!

I use also a USB connected card reader for HBCI banking from WinXP. I have sent the core directly to  maintainer mail adress.




I would also thank the Virtualbox developers for their work.

Interesting! Attaching a lot of gory details regarding my card reader, hoping it might help someone.

I don't get any core files. Hm, might have something to do with:



gb@big:~$ ulimit -c

Guess /etc/security/limits.conf is the place to fix. Have to do some Googeling...

I have done some more testing and this freeze definitely seems related to USB. This time I tried to boot about ten times. With USB enabled it always froze right after the guest window opened. If I disabled USB everything was fine.







I came up with a "kind of" workaround in un-checking the (only) USB-filter for my card reader, boot the guest OS and after that enable the USB device from the guest window top menu.







I have a core file produced by kill -4 after perhaps 30 seconds of none activity and the corresponding VBox.log, which BTW have the following last entry:



00:00:01.484 VUSB: attached 'b41d3098[proxy 08e6:3437]' to port 1


The core/log is around 5MB (compressed by gzip/bzip2 at best compression). Are you still interested in this Frank? Let me know and I mail the files to you or we make some kind of other delivery.

Same problem here. 




Host is Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-amd64




VBox host hangs immediately after power on VM with USB attached devices. VBox host cannot be started again without rebooting. On reboot kernel reports:

When USB support is disabled, Windows Xp guest can boot up without any problem.




Anyway, it also boots up WITH usb support ENABLED, but only when my usb wireless adapter is physically removed from computer. 




Workaround is:



  1. unplug all usb devices from your pc

  2. start your guest vm with usb support and NULL filter

  3. replug usb devices into pc when guest os boots up and than manually atach
