Hello! I'm running OpenSolaris inside VirtualBox on a Windows XP host. I'm using OpenSolaris 2009-06. I was using VirtualBox v2.2.4 and that was fine. I recently upgraded my VirtualBox to v3.0.4 and now when OpenSolaris boots the X server crashes leaving me with only a text mode console. It appears to crash three times; each time the VirtualBox window resizes and then immediately shrinks back down to the text console again. After a few seconds there is another try, etc. After three tries it appears to give up.
I was able to log into the text console one time. In the X server log I saw that it was receiving signal #11. However, now when I attempt to log into the console, I never get a password prompt. I type my user name and the system then goes dead (in effect). I have to basically just pull the plug on the virtual machine after this. There are some ugly messages in the VirtualBox log from the Guest BIOS saying that certain int 13 parameters are out of range. Then there are a bunch of messages related to Display::handleDisplayResize, but I don't know what they mean. I'm attaching the log file to this post in the hope that someone better than me can learn something from it. Any thoughts as to where I should be looking to fix this? I'd prefer not to reinstall if it can be avoided... assuming that will even work. As a side note, my Linux virtual machine appears to be running fine so I believe my VirtualBox upgrade is okay.
