Think I've found a nasty bug in b114 in association with VirtualBox 2.2.2. VM running is a Windows Server 2008 instance. Try to start it up, as usual, like VBoxHeadless -startvm win2k8, and the entire system kernel panics, then dumps. As follows:

bash-3.2# tail -500 /var/adm/messages.0

As similar, but not exact same current bug, relating to guest additions has been logged. I am not sure if this is identical, or the other bug has been mis-identified!

Didn't seem to dump a useful core, but I have stuff in /var/crash, if you'd like it.

Hope it helps!

This is most likely a duplicate of bug #3981.

There is a fixed vbi kernel module attached to #3981, which fixes the host panic.
