VirtualBox 6.1.18 VM fails to start when using e.g. port 32 of virtio-scsi controller => fixed in SVN/next maintenance

[Thomas Dreibholz]

I created a new VM with VirtIO controller. Port 0: HDD, Port 1: CD-ROM (empty). The VM starts, as expected.

After change of the CD-ROM port from 1 to 32, starting the VM fails: The VM session was aborted.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: SessionMachine Interface: ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}

Difference in the VBox file:

<StorageController name="VirtIO" type="VirtioSCSI" PortCount="30" useHostIOCache="false" Bootable="true">

---

<StorageController name="VirtIO" type="VirtioSCSI" PortCount="33" useHostIOCache="false" Bootable="true">

87c87 < <AttachedDevice passthrough="false" type="DVD" hotpluggable="false" port="1" device="0"/> ---

<AttachedDevice passthrough="false" type="DVD" hotpluggable="false" port="32" device="0"/>

The full vbox files and the log file of the failure are attached.
