Bug Description
I have a Windows 7 virtual machine that was working a few days ago, however, now when I try to boot it the entire machine locks up so hard that I have to reset it. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and this is what I have currently for VirtualBox:
virtualbox:
Installed: 4.1.10-dfsg-1
Candidate: 4.1.10-dfsg-1
Version table:
*** 4.1.10-dfsg-1 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
I have installed the guest additions and also the package that allows for USB 2.0. I don't know what has changed that is causing this particular VM to freak out. If I try to run a repair on the VM, it also locks up. I am not having this issue with my 32bit Windows XP VMs, they are still working without issue.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I know there was a kernel upgrade yesterday, perhaps that caused an issue?
This continues to be a problem and seems to be getting worse. The only way that I can currently boot this system is via a snapshot, trying to do a clean boot just causes my entire host Linux system to lock up completely. I have played with various settings and nothing seems to help, very odd.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with 64bit guests on a 32bit host? This was working without issue in 11.10. I know 12.04 is still beta but I just wanted to report this as a problem I am experiencing.
