Hello,

I apologize in advance for my details being very sparse right now, it will be difficult to provide further information since I've only been able to reproduce this on one machine that I can't afford to crash randomly.

Basically, I'm running the 64 bit CentOS 5.5 and CentOS 5.5 kernel with the commercial VBox 3.2.2 and these panics occurred very shortly after starting my 6th VM (which I think was Windows both times, don't know if this is relevant - the other guests were FreeBSD and Linux). I don't know if this is related, but the following was logged around the time it crashed:

Jun  5 01:57:08 mymachine kernel: VBoxTestOGL[16444]: segfault at 0000000000000898 rip 00000032d0451cb7 rsp 00007fff9c344b08
 error 4
Jun  5 01:58:28 mymachine kernel: vboxdrv: NMI watchdog either active or at least initialized. Please disable the NMI
Jun  5 01:58:28 mymachine kernel: vboxdrv: watchdog by specifying 'nmi_watchdog=0' at kernel command line.
Jun  5 01:58:51 mymachine kernel: VBoxDrv: dbg - g_abExecMemory=ffffffff88595220
Jun  5 01:58:51 mymachine kernel: vboxdrv: fAsync=0 offMin=0x58e offMax=0x1b9ea
Jun  5 01:58:51 mymachine kernel: vboxdrv: TSC mode is 'synchronous', kernel timer mode is 'normal'.
Jun  5 01:59:01 mymachine kernel: device eth0 entered promiscuous mode

>From what I can see the NMI watchdog stuff results in /dev/vboxdrv not being created, which is not the case for me. I don't know if these error messages mean much of anything as far as my panics, but I thought I would provide them just in case. I've also had problems with CentOS 5.4/5.5's glibc library using VMWare Server, I don't know if this is relevant here, probably another long shot...

Anything that can be determined without a kernel crash dump of some sort? I'm hoping that by some fluke one of you might have heard of some problems with my setup?
