(solved) virtualbox crashes system with kernel26 2.6.35.6-1 upgrade

After upgrading to kernel26 2.6.35.6-1, running virtualbox crashes my system.  I had to downgrade to kernel26 2.6.35.5-1.

Edit: There is no longer any problem with virtualbox after an upgrade to kernel26 2.6.35.7-1

Re: (solved) virtualbox crashes system with kernel26 2.6.35.6-1 upgrade

did you recompile the modules and reload them?


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yep. Seems to be a problem with virtualization in general. Vmware workstation 7.1.1 won't start as well. No crash but it hangs while loading the kernel modules...

I'm also having an issue with it.  I had to downgrade to kernel26 2.6.35.5-1 and then recompile the VirtualBox modules to get it working again.

Before downgrading I also recompiled the modules and rebooted, so they should have reloaded.

Re: (solved) virtualbox crashes system with kernel26 2.6.35.6-1 upgrade

Confirmed. Right after trying to start a virtual machine, the system freezes and reboots immediately.
Reverting to 2.6.35.4 solves the problem.
(Arch x86_64 and virtualbox_bin 3.2.8)

Re: (solved) virtualbox crashes system with kernel26 2.6.35.6-1 upgrade

Same here. It just freezes the entire system.
EDIT: I was almost convinced that my .vdi was corrupt, and was about to delete it tongue
EDIT2: Downgraded. Works fine on 2.6.35.5

Is it an issue only with x86_64 users on Intel CPUs?  I'm running a Core2Quad Q6600 on x86_64.

Re: (solved) virtualbox crashes system with kernel26 2.6.35.6-1 upgrade

I've found a bug in our kernel26-headers-2.6.35.6-1-x86_64 package, and sent mail to it's maintainer.
When it will be fixed - catalyst, virtualbox and vmware modules should work fine.

Re: (solved) virtualbox crashes system with kernel26 2.6.35.6-1 upgrade

@ViOLO: Hey, I am using Catalyst, and the driver didn't break after the upgrade. Is it happening to everyone, or just a few people with specific cards?
I am using standard Xorg (I don't get the maximize glitches), and Catalyst from your repo. Running Arch 64.

it's because catalyst from repo was built on previous kernel26 version (2.6.35.5), and it's just working smile

btw vbox modules built on 2.6.35.6-2 version of kernel26 and kernel26-headers (which are atm in [testing]) works fine

I had some Virtualbox issues with this update too, dunno if its related or not.
I run an Arch guest with Virtualbox (Windows host) and my sound stopped working with 2.6.35.6-1, had to downgrade to 2.6.35.5-1.

Re: (solved) virtualbox crashes system with kernel26 2.6.35.6-1 upgrade

Yesterday I observed this crash.  This morning I updated to:

kernel26 2.6.35.7-1
kernel26-headers 2.6.35.7-1

recompiled the module via "/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup" and everything seems to work fine (nothing was hosed in virtual XP box either).
