OSX 10.8 - Your computer was restarted because of a problem
Reported by: | diggabyte | Owned by: | |

Description
VirtualBox continually causes my brand new OS X 10.8 MacbookPro crash with a grey screen of death that says 'Your computer was restarted because of a problem'. This does not ever occur when virtual box is not running. A VM need not even be running, but just the VirtualBox app seems to cause this crash. This happened in the last major version as well, as the recent update has not fixed the issue.
I've attached both the VBox log and the OS X Crash Report.

Can you provide any steps how to reproduce this crash? If I understand you correct then you host crashes only occasionally, right?
comment:2 by , 12 years ago
Steps:
- Run virtual box and guest (running bridged network adapter)
- Put the host machine to sleep (close lid of Macbook)
- Leave it in sleep mode for a while (typically overnight)
- Awaken the host machine
Expected: The machine resumes where it left off
Actual: Grey screen of death, org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp is always the most recently loaded kext indicated in the crash report.

It could also be related to switching from one host network interface from another. For example, I use ethernet at work, but at home I use wifi. Perhaps changing between these two causes a crash in the VBoxNetAdp? In other words, use ethernet, sleep the host, awake without ethernet present but with wifi present.

Could you please before "puting the host to sleep" collect state of your host state with sysdiagnose -f <some place except /tmp/> and on finish put host to sleep. After crash please attach archieve with logs + crash report and VBox.log from the session.
