Reestablece la imagen guardada pero cuando llega a 100% manda la notificacion de error y no entra a windows.

Translation of comment 1: restoring a saved state caused the error in the description on reaching 100% and Windows failed to start.

Please, a bit more information - in particular how to reproduce this error - and a log file would be helpful. It would also be helpful to write in English as I don't think the people likely to be able to help with this speak Spanish.

The same on my PC.

Host: Kubuntu Linux 13.10 and 13.04 Guest: Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate

4.2.18 works well, but the new 4.3.0 has this problem; and worse, after uninstall 4.3.0 and reinstall 4.2.18, the Windows 7 guests tend to crash either in normal shutdown or hibernate.

The problem is the same on either Kubuntu 13.10 or 13.04 host, and either Windows 7 professional or Ultimate guest.

I've had this issue with Host: Windows 7 SP1, Guest: CrunchBang Linux (Debian derivative), testing branch. I posted this issue here:  http://superuser.com/questions/663088/virtualbox-savestate-resume-error-verr-ssm-field-not-consecutive

[ackwell]

I seem to have fixed it in the above scenario. It would seem to be linked to the host's virtualisation capabilities. Enabling Intel Virtualisation Technology in BIOS settings seems to have cleared up the issue.

Log of a crashed boot attempt

[manfredsch]

Same here after upgrading from 4.2.18 to 4.3. Host is x86_64 (core2), guest is Windows2000.

Crash does only happen when restoring a snapshot, doing a clean boot is OK.

I have attached a log file, for completeness.

Same issue. Windows Server 2008 x86 host (Intel Pentium E2160  http://ark.intel.com/products/29739/Intel-Pentium-Processor-E2160-1M-Cache-1_80-ghz-800-mhz-fsb, no VT-x support), Windows XP x86 guest.

Hi, I see this geral , huf ! , Could you point me what commits fixes this and/or when where we have a new release ?

Thanks,

Fixed in 4.3.2. The relevant changeset is r49247.

VirtualBox log file created when failed to (re)load saved session.

Problem is NOT solved yet, unfortunately...

Just installed VirtualBox 4.3.2 (including an update of the VirtualBox Guest Additions). According to the release notes, the bug 12222 (VMM: fixed PATM saved state incompatibility for software virtualized VMs (bug #12222)) should be solved.

I've tried out the new version and the problem remains, be it with another error message this time. See attached image:

2013-11-02 13_37_03-VirtualBox - Error.jpg (23.91 KiB) Viewed 92 times

Where the error message previously was "VERR_SSM_FIELD_NOT_CONSECUTIVE", this time it's "VERR_SSM_LOADED_TOO_MUCH" that I see when I want to restart a saved session.

I've also attached the corresponding Vbox_GVC.log file (renamed file since a log file with same name already exists), in which I see another error message, prior to the one given above:

"00:00:05.201750 AIOMgr: Preparing flush failed with VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED, disabling async flushes".

Don't know if there's a relation between the two, though...

The above is similar to the reply I posted on my own message thread (see  https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=270622#p270622).

XP guest, unable to restore Saved State

[pipk]

I have the identical error and log as the above. 4.3.0 restores failed and after upgrade to 4.3.2:

Same here: VERR_SSM_LOADED_TOO_MUCH

I did a proper shutdown of the VM, upgraded to 4.3.2, started VM (everything OK), went to savestate, when resuming => bang, hitting an assert.

With 4.3.2 Failed to load unit 'PATM'

No error info.

the biggest difference that I see from 4.3.0 to 4.3.2 , is in 4.3.2 can't try 2 times resume the vm , because on first attempt vm goes to state abort.

[Jacob Klein]

I reported the VERR_SSM_LOADED_TOO_MUCH error as a new error, in Ticket #12291.

I have to corrected this sentence , on WindowsXP as guest vm aborts , but on windows 7 as guest don't , so it is possible that I don't have any difference between 4.3.0 and 4.3.2 .

take this opportunity to ask, if some fixes be made on svn to this issue , please let me know the changesets to test it individually with 4.3.2

Thanks,

Same issue in Fedora 19 with 4.3.2. The restore of the VM reports the following error:

---

Fixed in 4.3.4. If you experience other SSM issues, please open a separate ticket.

[Panos Kavalagios]

The issue has not been resolved in 4.3.4. Please to reopen.

[sergiomb]

Yeah , not solved in 4.3.4 , also got other regression , hopefully have workaround .

seems related with CPUs without visualization flag .

[frank]

Should be fixed in VBox 4.3.6. Please continue the discussion in #12414.
