Virtual machine aborts on resume

[Daniele]

Since a couple of days ago, my Windows XP virtual guest (under a Ubuntu 10.04 64bit host) would not resume anymore after suspending, and instead it displays "Aborted" after trying to resume.

My virtual machine is configured to use IO APIC and two virtual processors, full hardware virtualization (VT-x) and nested paging.

I'm attaching the log, which fails with this assertion:

00:00:03.119 !!Assertion Failed!! 00:00:03.119 Expression: !VMCPU_FF_ISSET(pVCpu, VMCPU_FF_INTERRUPT_PIC) 00:00:03.119 Location : /home/vbox/vbox-4.0.4/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/PDM.cpp(862) int pdmR3LoadExec(VM*, SSMHANDLE*, uint32_t, uint32_t)

Another log which shows the same problem

Apparently, this is related to USB filters. I had recently added a couple of filters to automatically associate some devices with the VM. I have the USB 2.0 EHCI controller enabled.

If I remove the filters, I can reliably suspend and resume the virtual machine without errors.
If I put the filters back (or any other USB filter for that), resuming after suspend aborts.

Well, at least I have a workaround for this problem, that is, don't set up any USB filter.

Another Vbox log from a different environment

I had the same problem with a WinXP Vbox on OpenSuse 11.4 64bit OS. Log file is attached above, hope it helps to track it down.

Thanks to Aslo for the workaround.

Hi I ran into this bug as well with Virtualbox 4.1.12 in Ubuntu 12.04 resuming a WinXP VM. Removing the usb filters solves the crash but has made Virtualbox less usable.

Error in the log:

00:00:02.110 !!Assertion Failed!! 00:00:02.110 Expression: !VMCPU_FF_ISSET(pVCpu, VMCPU_FF_INTERRUPT_PIC) 00:00:02.110 Location : /home/vbox/vbox-4.1.16/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/PDM.cpp(881) int pdmR3LoadExec(PVM, PSSMHANDLE, uint32_t, uint32_t)

Same problem here, log file attached. Linux Mint 12 i386, Virtualbox 4.2.0 r80737. Using a USB filter for the keyboard to send Ctrl-Alt-Del at login time, as inserting it doesn't work from the menu, nor using Host-Del.

Edit: I am unable to attach the log file, the Submit button does nothing.

There is no submit button, you probably mean the 'Add Attachment' button. Did you compress your logfile?
