Hello,

i want to migrate a Virtualbox guest machine from one host (machine A) 
to another, but on the new host it crashes with a kernel panic, during 
booting: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!"

Here's a screenshot: http://paste.opensuse.org/5802897 [1]

Trying on two other VM host machines again results in a guest crash on 
one host, while working on the other.

Here is an overview of the environments and where the guest crashes:
http://pastehtml.com/view/bzx62wezu.html (for google history: [2])

Here is the VM guests XML: http://paste.opensuse.org/29784460

And here the VBox.log of the guest when booting into crash:
http://paste.opensuse.org/11668389

The VM guest is running opensuse-11.2 (obsolete release). Other guests 
which are not crashing have opensuse-11.3 (and later) resp. Debian 
5.0.9. Could it be that old/obsolete guest OSs cause such kernel panics?

I migrated by creating a new VM guest (with same parameters) and then 
using the copied vdi-File from the old machine.

Any other information which i could evaluate, tests i should run?

Any hints to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance: Dominik
