Mac OS-X Host kernel panic with Hauppauge filtered WinTV-USB

[Anthony Jenkins]

When starting a VM under VirtualBox 2.0.6 with my Hauppauge WinTV-USB (Model 40001 Revision A) plugged in and filtered, the host crashes immediately upon display of the Sun boot screen (kernel panic).

If the machine is already running (without the device) and the filter is defined, the host will crash immediately when the device is plugged in.

If the filter is not defined, the system does not crash when the device is plugged in. If the filter is defined but the device is not plugged in, the system does not crash. If the filter is not defined, but the device is plugged in, then the filter is enabled or created, the system will immediately crash.

WinTV-USB is a USB 1.1 Zoran based video tuner/capture device.

This will occur regardless of the guest system, or even if there is no bootable guest system.

I will attach a text file detailing the System Profiler info for the device, the VirtualBox filter info and the kernel panic info.

I will also update VB to 2.1.2 and see if it is still happening.

Note: there are no drivers for the device installed on the host OS.
