VM will not start, Guru Meditation -79 (VERR_INVALID_STATE)

[DeHouthakker]

Virtual machines will not start any more. Both Windows and Ubuntu guests seem to be having the same project. I am using VirtualBox 6.1.22_Ubuntu r144080 and I am running Ubuntu 20.04 Linux 5.13.0-27-lowlatency #29~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT

Yesterday everything works fine and now machines wont start. When exporting and importing a machine to a different host, the machine does start so it seems the issue is related to the virtual box host.

In the logfile I see:

I will attach the logfile to this ticket.

Any help is highly appreciated

This is a known issue. Linux kernel 5.13 is supported in VirtualBox 6.1.24 and newer.

After some more investigation and a reinstallation of Virtual Box, the virtual machine worked again.

So, this issue can be closed.

Sorry for the confusion...

@fth0, sorry, but I did not see you comment. You are right, reinstalling did the thing. Thanks for your comment.
