[4.1.X regression] Event ID 9: did not respond within the timeout period

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

It's probably a Virtual Box 4.1.6 regression but it takes up to 2 minutes to initialize SATA HDD (virtual or real - doesn't matter) using Intel iastor driver.

Intel driver says that event ID 9 occured after the OS has finally booted.

Host OS: Linux 3.0.8 x86 vanilla

Guest OS: Windows XP (BartPE bootable CD) SP2 x86, iastor.sys 7.6.1.1002, iastor.inf 7.6.1.1002

Shutdown sequence also takes ages to complete.

Chipset type doesn't matter (PIIX3 and ICH9 both exhibit this behaviour).

he entire virtual machine, excluding a bootable Windows XP SP2 BartPE CD-Rom

Which was the last VirtualBox version where you booted this guest successfully?

Replying to frank:

Which was the last VirtualBox version where you booted this guest successfully?

I cannot be sure, it could have been 4.1.4 or even 4.0.X.

I am having the same issue.
Same ATAPI error with Id 9.

This error is from my guest Windows Server 2003 R2, It’s an Spanish version the exact error is:
Origen: atapi
Id de suceso: 9
Descripción: "El dispositivo, \Device\Ide\IdePort1, no respondió en el tiempo de espera permitido."

The host server is running on Centos 6.1, and VirtualBox 4.1.8

I get a few errors of ATAPI per day on both .vhi drives that are running on the Guest Windows 2003. Both error of both HDD (.vhi images) at the same time.

VirtualBox is having an atapi issue. With prior version 4.0.x there were no error. This was working fine with 4.0.4

Thanks

4.3.2 - without any changes.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
