Reported by: anonymous Owned by:

Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description (last modified by aeichner)

"dev box" guest was saved before shutdown, then I've upgraded VirtualBox 4.0 to 4.0.2 using proprietary .deb package and tried to start all guests.

vm@host:~$ VBoxManage list vms
"dev box" {be1ab640-fc7d-4c9c-82e6-783267e9dd42}
"production box" {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
"Windows 2008 Server" {xxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

vm@host:~$ VBoxManage startvm "dev box" --type headless
Waiting for the VM to power on...
VBoxManage: error: Found no handler for unit 'ich9pci' instance #0 (VERR_SSM_INTEGRITY_UNIT_NOT_FOUND)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Console, interface IConsole, callee

That's because changing PIIX3 to ICH9 in the UI doesn't change the config file.

Correct. The reason is that the settings version is not correctly raised. This bug will be fixed in the next maintenance release. A workaround for such saved VMs is to manually edit the settings file and to change the settings version to 1_11 (version="1.11...") and to add <Chipset type="ICH9"/> into the Hardware section. Once the settings version is raised to 1.11 the new setting is stored persistent.

Don't forget to create a backup of that file before you edit it!

bug still appears when I've upgraded 4.0.4 to 4.0.8
the situation is much the same: saved a guest's state through VBoxManage, then upgraded an installed VirtualBox package, then tried to start a suspended guest (from GUI and then from CLI), failed to start in both cases

$ VBoxManage startvm "Windows 2003 Server"
Waiting for the VM to power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'Windows 2003 Server' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 0
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee

only explicit setting "--type headless" option was helpful

$ VBoxManage startvm "Windows 2003 Server" --type headless
Waiting for the VM to power on...
VM has been successfully started.
