Actually this seems to happen when I minimise the guest VMs window in GNOME - Mandriva Cooker 2008.0, x86_64.

It seems like this problem still exists in 1.5.4. I just had the same crash on Mandriva Cooker x86_64 (Linux 2.6.24-rc6) with Virtualbox 1.5.4:

1193:59:47.780 !!Assertion Failed!! 1193:59:47.780 Expression: i < 4096 1193:59:47.780 Location : /home/mandrake/rpm/BUILD/VirtualBox-1.5.4_OSE/src/VBox/Runtime/r3/linux/sems-linux.cpp(219) int RTSemEventSignal(RTSEMEVENTINTERNAL*) 1193:59:47.810 iCur=0x1 pIntEventSem=00000000009cb000

The crash mentioned in http://vbox.innotek.de/pipermail/vbox-dev/2007-November/000394.html seems to be the same problem too.

crash in a code block to improve readability:

i had this same assert. 1.5.4-binary on linux 2.6.24-rc8 running win2k3 guest. this same box happens to run vmware-server 1.0.3.

This still happens very often in Mandriva Cooker 2008.1 (Linux 2.6.24 - Glibc 2.7 - x86_64) and it makes Virtualbox unusable for production use. Can anybody finally take a look at this please?

The bug has been reported for VirtualBox 1.5.6 on Ubuntu at https://launchpad.net/bugs/206615. The host is Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 (beta), the host Windows XP and it seems to happen after leaving the machine running/idle for a while.

The bug in Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/bugs/206615), provides additional debugging information, like a stacktrace.

Just to keep you up-to-date: This is a known issue. Still no fix available.

comment:8 by Matteo Pillon, 16 years ago

I think this bug is related with preemptivity enabled in kernel... I compiled a kernel without preemptivity and it disappeared. Just a day of machine uptime, I'll send another report later ;)

comment:9 by Matteo Pillon, 16 years ago

No, it's not preemptivity, it crashes less, but still aborting...
