CentOS OS latest Update (fixed in 6.1.6 and 6.0.20)

[PaulL0]

While running the latest Centos version when I checked the software there was a software update message informing me an update for the OS is to be installed. The attached errors were received. As per Virtual GuruBox Meditation "A critical error has occurred while running the machine and the machine execution has been stopped. See attached log file VBox1 and the image file VBox.png.I have been running Virtual Box for a while and this is the first time I have come across this. I am not a software developer I am a newbie. Thanks for your help.

The attached log doesn't show any guru meditation, please provide the correct VBox.log.

This sounds a lot like an internal bug we've just fixed today:

Guru Meditation -1607 (VERR_PGM_HANDLER_NOT_FOUND) trying to force a crash dump on Linux

Any chance that your Linux guest VM was trying to a crash dump after a kernel panic perhaps?

[Klaus Espenlaub]

No, it's the "start VM from saved state, reset VM, guru" variant. Which is not exactly the same, but ultimately runs into very similar problems. We should be able to provide builds with a fix rather soon... likely next week.

[Frank Batschulat (Oracle)]

So this is apparently not what I suspected to be fixed by revision r136435 in trunk but instead it is what Klaus said, fixed with revision r136428 in trunk.

I will provide public test builds for the 6.1 (backport) and Trunk train asap next week containing both fixes and will update this bug once they become available.

[Frank Batschulat (Oracle)]

So more fix details:

in trunk we have the following 2 related changesets:

r136435 VMSVGA: Do not needlessly register VGA LFB handler when updating framebuffer mapping
r136428 VMSVGA: Unregister VRAM handler after loading state if necessary

Those have been backported to the 6.1 branch with revisions r136455 and r136456 respectively.

I'll produce test builds for trunk and the 6.1 branch asap.

[Frank Batschulat (Oracle)]

WORKAROUND:

trunk test builds containing above mentioned revisions with the fix are available on:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

Section: Development snapshots

6.1 branch test builds containing the revisions mentioned above with the fix are available for Linux under the

Section: Latest 6.1.x test builds

Linux 64-bit	6.1.x revision 136459
Linux EL6 64-bit	6.1.x revision 136459
Linux EL7 64-bit	6.1.x revision 136459
Linux EL8 64-bit	6.1.x revision 136459
Guest Additions	6.1.x revision 136459
Extension Pack	6.1.x revision 136459

[Frank Batschulat (Oracle)]

We have also released Linux test builds for the 6.0.X branch that contain mentioned fix for:

VMSVGA: Do not needlessly register VGA LFB handler when updating framebuffer mapping

which fixes the Linux crash dump reboot problem in revision r136470 on:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

Section: Latest 6.0.x test builds

Linux 64-bit	6.0.x revision 136475
Linux EL6 64-bit	6.0.x revision 136475
Linux EL7 64-bit	6.0.x revision 136475
Linux EL8 64-bit	6.0.x revision 136475
Extension Pack	6.0.x revision 136470

[Frank Batschulat (Oracle)]

this has been fixed in the public releases 6.1.6 and 6.0.20.
