Crash on 4.1.22 with kernel 3.2.0-29 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Cláudio B.]

This is what I got when trying to use (in boot) virtualbox

Had to revert to 4.1.12 and kernel 3.2.0-27

[Frank Mehnert]

Please try to use VBox 4.1.22 with kernel 3.2.0-27.

[Frank Mehnert]

And does this happen with different guests? Does this happen immediately when you try to start the guest? Can you provide a VBox.log file of the failing session with 4.1.22? Also, where did you get the 4.1.22 package from, from this website or from the Ubuntu repository? VirtualBox 4.1.22 works very well here on Ubuntu 12.04 / 64-bit on Linux 3.2.0-30.

[Cláudio B.]

Hi Frank,

this happens when I boot Linux, it does not depends on which guest I'm using.

I'm using

​http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ precise/contrib

as source.

I try to use 4.2. RC4 but sometimes I got the same error in boot. Sometimes the boot continues, sometimes it stops.

I'll try to got a VBox.log and attach it later.

[Cláudio B.]

Log of a "successfull" guest boot.

[Frank Mehnert]

Cannot reproduce on Ubuntu 12.04. Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.2.6.
