CentOS 5.1 "crashes" when VirtualBox "aborts" the VM.

[LaughingBoy]

I have often come back to my Fedora 7 x64 computer to find the CentOS 5.1 in an "Aborted" state. All it was doing was sitting there idly at a VT, or at the login screen.

I checked the logs (Machine menu -> Show Log...) and there are four logs, but for some reason when I select them individually to save them, I'm only able to save two. I will attach the two that I am able to save shortly.

I assume the logs provide enough detail, but if they don't, then feel free to ask for more.

Host: $ uname -r -s -v -p -i -m Linux 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 16:52:18 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64

First log file I was able to save.

Forgot about wiki formatting for the console code: Host:

$ uname -r -s -v -p -i -m 
Linux 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 16:52:18 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64

Second log file I was able to save.

CentOS log file # 1

CentOS log file # 2

CentOS log file # 3

[LaughingBoy]

CentOS log file # 4

[LaughingBoy]

CentOS log file # 5

Never mind the comments about only being able to save two log files. I didn't check the file names closely enough. All attached now - including another crash moments ago.

I managed to install the VirtualBox add ins hoping that might fix things, but to no avail.

Can you try upgrading to Virtualbox 1.5.6 and see if the problem persists?

[LaughingBoy]

As you can see in the first line of the last attachment​ it is still present in the latest version (v1.5.6 r28266).

Mildly curious - I didn't get any email notification of this update. I hope I don't have to periodically poll the Wiki. :-/
