Virturalbox will not start a saved machine.

Technician · 2013-10-25 05:10:27

Hello . . .
Today I upgraded Arch, and now VirtualBox is unable to start a saved machine. It was working just fine before the update.

When I try to start a saved machine VirturalBox Manager replies with:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine.
Failed to load unit 'PATM' (VERR_SSM_FIELD_NOT_CONSECUTIVE).

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

After removing saved state and starting the machine again, it loads fine. If a save state is set, the manager fails to start, and gives the error. This feature was working just fine before the update.
- The BIOS is set to support virturalization.
- The kernel and drivers are current.

How can I cure this problem?

I'm having the same issue, and apparently it's a known bug and will be fixed in next virtualbox 4.3.x maintenance release (see comments in this and this bug).

in the meanwhile you can to downgrade to 4.2 or build it from svn.

Where is the svn?

It should alreade be fixed in latest official arch package, maybe you haven't updated your system for a while?

Sorry to bump this thread, but I am facing this problem in several realeases on virtualbox.
I am on version 4.3.18..
In onlder realeases (can't remember the number) it was running fine.

Skinne,
I think the original problem had been dealt with by a package update about a year ago. Your problem should not be related.
I am going to suggest that you please start a new thread as I am going to close this one. If you believe this thread to be relevant. then pleas provide a link back to this thread from the new thread.

Thanks.
