virtualbox reports Guru Meditation when starting an Ubuntu guest -- ubuntu guest waking from hibernation

[ashwinm]

VirtualBox reports an error and moves to Guru Meditation(The error message says so). host - winxp, guest - ubuntu

Please find the corresponding VBOX log attached.

Moment, your host was hibernated while a VM was running and then woken up, right?

No, the VM is sent to hibernate. VB closes the VM properly as if it was powered down. When you start the VM, the Guest will try to resume from hibernated state. When it's almost done, VB goes to Guru meditation. The same is happening on 4.0.0 with a Windows Guest on Xubuntu 10.10 Host. I've attached a log of such a run. Note that hibernate isn't available on XP until you have installed the Guest Additions of 4.0.

Guru Meditation when resuming from hibernate with XP Guest in 4.0.0

[Raffaello D. Di Napoli]

Same issue as the reported Ubuntu guest, here on a Gentoo guest.

I get the same results (guest screen entirely black, guest CPU 100%) with or without the guest additions being loaded in the kernel; the only difference is that with the GA, a guru meditation pops up, while without them, it just locks indefinitely.

Just to be clear, the host is never suspended in the process; the guest is restarted as soon as self-powered down by pm-hibernate.

Resume with Guest Additions leads to guru meditation

[Raffaello D. Di Napoli]

Resume without GA (and some VM pause/resume fidgeting by me, before forced power off)

[Raffaello D. Di Napoli]

Forgot to mention, VirtualBox here is 4.0.2, guest kernel is 2.6.36 with Gentoo patchset 5. Host is nearly identical configuration as the guest.
