vbox 3.0.4 causes host panic on osol 0904 on VBoxNetDHCP module

[antoonh]

Hi all,

I just experienced a panic of my opensolaris 2009.06 install. The panic stacktrace suggests that the VboxDHCP module was the culprit here.

Here's the stacktrace:

For further analysis, I saved the coredump.

As for my VBox usage:

I'm running a vm with

• win xp pro

1 interface on NAT 1 interface on internal networking

another vm with:

• amber road appliance (unified storage 7000 simulator)

1 interface on internal networking

This way the xp image is connected to the outside world, and can manage and configure the amber road appliance through vboxnet0.

I suspected a major change in networking to be the cause here, (I switched to ipsec based vpn, aka punchin) but given that I've seen at least two more panics when I wasn't on vpn, I'm not so sure.

I've kept the OS crashdump for analysis: it's not too big: about 689MB so I can upload whenever you like.

Very similar thing happen quite often for me and as such is a showstopper for this setup. I'm on osol 2009.06 host, virtalbox 3.0.4, with debian 5 guest
