10729,GM(VERR_VMX_INVALID_GUEST_STATE) with NetWare 6.5 SP8 SMP guest,kumba,,"Under both VirtualBox 4.0.16 and 4.1.14, using either the ICH9 or PIIX3 chipsets, NetWare 6.5 SP8 is unable to use SMP capabilities.  Issues range from generating an ABEND that cites a memory parity error, to an issue initializing Processor #1 at boot (which triggered a GuruMeditation -4014, VERR_VMX_INVALID_GUEST_STATE).

Under 4.0.16, I get the ABEND if I cycle the VM enough times.  Sometimes, it just locks up loading several NLMs, but usually, you get the ABEND and the system either hangs or auto-resets itself.  Under 4.1.18, no ABEND -- it simply freezes at random points.  Tried anywhere from 2 to 4 CPUs, effect is the same, only faster if you have 4 CPUs active.

Drop it to one CPU, and it loads fine under 4.0.16, and only on 4.1.14 (See Ticket #10728 for the Guru on 4.1.18).  Logs and screenshots attached.",defect,closed,guest smp,VirtualBox 4.0.16,fixed,"netware, smp, guru meditation",,other,Windows
