Description
VirtualBox crashes every time I try to start any image.
Steps to reproduce my results:
- Start VirtualBox
- Create a 32-bit or 64-bit VM to install Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04
- Start the VM
- Point the VM to a valid ISO of either Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
- VirtualBox returns this error:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Ubuntu 32-bit.
The VM session was aborted.
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {12f4dcdb-12b2-4ec1-b7cd-ddd9f6c5bf4d}
I'm using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo Macbook with 4GB of RAM (Model Identifier is MacBook4,1) I'm trying to use VirtualBox 4.3.0 r89960. My $HOME/Library/VirtualBox/ directory doesn't have a Machines/ folder, so, I have no VBox.log files to post. I'm assuming this is because VirtualBox crashed before it is able to load the guest and create the Machines/ folder to dump logs into.
I have tried repairing my disk permissions. Also, as far as I understand, the VM must be running with the same kernel bitsize as the host kernel. To that end, I have tried to start the computer with the 32-bit and the 64-bit kernel using both of the methods on this page: http://support/apple.com/kb/HT3773. Oddly though, the computer never seems to run with the 64-bit kernel.
I have searched the forums and the bugtracker but have not found any related tickets.

The attached logs are from /Library/logs/DiagnosticReports . I labeled them as best I can remember, but their labels might not be accurate.

I have the same problem after installing VirtualBox 4.3.2 r40305 with extensions on System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) Kernel Version: Darwin 10.8.0: any attempt to create a virtual machine and install Windows 8.1 from an official .ISO image from Microsoft gets the same error message "NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)" but VirtualBox does not crash. No log file is created. This same Windows 8.1 image was successfully imported into Parallels Version Build 6.0.12106 (Revision 692267; September 7, 2011) [however, integration of Parallels Tools is not available from Parallels, so VirtualBox was attempted]

No idea. Please could you try this test build? If it still crashes, please attach the VBoxSVC.log file from your $HOME/Library/VirtualBox/ to this ticket.
