Which version of VBox created the snapshot?

[user2304]

Update:

Using "Machine" > "Close..." and the option "Power off the machine + Revert to the current snapshot" seems to work, so i can restore at least the last snapshot.

It seems, that the problem just occurs with a powered-off machine and using the functions of the "Snapshot"-tab in the main-menu.

@Frank:

Version 1.6.4

I'm experiencing the same issue. Version 1.6.4 /w Guest Additions 1.6.0. I have attached two log files, one (Vbox.log.1) from the boot up from a clean state to suspending the machine, the second (VBox.log) from the failed restore of the suspending machine.

Same error with 1.6.6

For me, error happens only if enabled "PCnet-FAST III" Network adapter. "PCnet-PCI II" works fine.

[Nao]

Saving state. (PCnet-FAST III enabled)

[Nao]

Restoring state. (PCnet-FAST III enabled) (restore fails with subj error)

Config of VM after fail

Same problem with VBox 2.0 -- guest WinXP SP3; Host OS X 10.5.5

Goes away if I switch the card to PCnet-PCI II.
