[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox 5.2.14 crashing when attempting to start VM

[Till Wegmüller]

Hi

Are you trying to boot 32-bit VM's?

Or is Virtualbox still part 32bit?

The referenced Bug mentions that only 32bit VM's are affected.

Can you boot the VM's with Qemu?

I doubt Bugs in June are affecting that Issue given that a Patch level
from 12th July still works.

What type of VM's are you trying to boot? Windows, Linux, 32/64 bit?

Did the Workaround work?

When reading the crashdump virtualbox seems to choke on IOctl.

Have you tried building Virtualbox OSE and see if that works for you?

Thanks for the info
Greetings
Till
