Description

I installed virtual box 3.02 today in my fedora 11 box. I tried to enable my disabled network connection (i disabled it few months ago) in control panel of windows xp professional (guest).Suddenly a window tilted "Virtual box -Guru Mediation" and said "A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped."

I have this issue as well. The setup is exactly the same, except I am running Ubuntu 9.04.

Could you give a detailed list of instructions how to reproduce this? Plus a VBox.log file when this happened. Thank you!

I am afraid, the log file has been already uploaded as attachment!

To reproduce this, disable your network connection in control panel->Network Connections>rightclick->disable (if its not disabled already), Right click the disabled network and enable it!

I can confirm I'm experiencing the same bug.

Host information - Linux dt19.im.local 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 24 22:19:33 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)]

Guest information - Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3)

VirtualBox information - VirtualBox 3.0.4 r506777 Installed direct from the VirtualBox apt repository.

I've attached the dump files (npardoe_VBox.log and npardoe_VBox.png) so there's more than one example to go off.

I tried rolling back to VirtualBox 2.2.4 r47978, uninstalling completely the VirtualBox 3 Guest Additions then clean installing the Guest Additions which ship with 2.2.4. The same issue occurs as indicated above (see log npardoe2_VBox.log and screenshot npardoe2_VBox.png).

I also tried uninstalling the Guest Additions then enabling the network adapter which *did work* and the network adapter was enabled. I tried this under VirtualBox 2.2.4 and 3.0.4 - both times *without* Guest Additions buth with the network adapter enabled. I was then free to reinstall Guest Additions in VirtualBox 2 or 3, however, with Guest Additions installed disabling then enabling the network adapter didn't reproduce the Guru Meditation error.

A workaround for this seems to be uninstalling Guest Additions, enabling the network adapter then reinstalling Guest Additions works fine in VirtualBox 2.2.4 or 3.0.4 and after reinstalling Guest Additions you are *NOT* able to enable/disable the network adapter. If you disable the network adapter, shut down the machine, then enable it the Guru Meditation issue comes back and the only fix is to uninstall Guest Additions then enable the network adapter. This looks like a Guest Additions driver issue.
