VirtualBox (Mac OS X) dies with OpenSolaris guest during early boot with kernel debugger interaction

Reported by: Mark Johnson Owned by:
Component: VMM Version: VirtualBox 2.1.2
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Solaris Host type: Mac OS X

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

This is on a 32-bit only Macbook Pro. For guest; ACPI is on, everything else is off. Turning on VT-x does not make the problem go away. It works fine on metal.

Using a stock OpenSolaris 2008.11 guest, enter the kernel debugger. To do this: 

   o when the grub line comes up, hit 'e'
   o go to the splashimage line and hit 'd' to delete it
   o go to the foreground line and hit 'd' to delete it
   o go to the backgound line and hit 'd' to delete it
   o go to the kernel$ line and hit 'e' to EDIT it
      o hit backspace/delete to remove ",console=graphics"
      o use the arrow keys to move the cursor before the -B $ZFS-BOOTFS, and add -kd
         o the line should now look like
               kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -kd -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
      o hit return to enter changes and go back
      o hit 'b' to boot

Wait for the kmdb prompt [0]> 

   o at the kmdb prompt, set the var and continue..  vbox guest will die here
     and be left in a "aborted" state. 
     NOTE: Make sure initial k is lower case.. virtual box always seems to
     capitalize it (a bug?) and I have to delete and type it again.

      o kobj_file_bufsize?W 0x100000
      o :c

From the guest log...

This combination of Mac and Solaris is imba rare. Let's divide it.

  1. Can you try on newer VBox ?
  1. Can you try the same Solaris VM on a different host OS ?
  1. Can you try a different guest OS on your Mac host ?

3.0.12 vbox on 64-bit Windows 7 host with OpenSolaris b127 with -kd kernel options works as expected

Different guests work fine on the mac... Also Solaris works fine.. It was just if you boot into the Solaris debugger and entry the value above before booting the kernel. It should return back to the debugger.

3.0.12 vbox on 32-bit Mac os X (10.6.2) with with OpenSolaris b127 still has that same problem.

Also, the first key pressed is still incorrectly capitalized on both hosts.
