Guests randomly abort.

[phzi]

I have run both a WindowsXP Pro SP2 Guest, and a Ubuntu Linux Guest, on my Sabayon Linux 3.4e install. While running, Virtualized Sessions randomly close, and enter the 'Aborted' state.

I started another session, and left it idling until it crashed, the end of the log is:

00:29:52.799 VBVA: Enabled.

That part is unrelated to the abort. It's a VBox crash of some kind as the log isn't complete. Please wait for the next release to try again. (due out very soon)

Please could you try VirtualBox 1.5.0? If the problem still persists, please could you try to disable the clipboard?

I have this problem on 1.5.0 with clipboard disabled. Moving from fact to speculation now, it might be crashing on some disk activity. The guest always seems to crash after I do something intensive (like launch and antivirus install). Last thing in my logs:

Please retry with 1.5.2. We fixed a related bug.

Reopen if it still happens in 1.5.2.
