Hi all,
I have installed VirtualBox 1.6.4 on a Solaris 10 05/08 system. I then
created a first guest image and installed Solaris 10 05/08 on it. The
first impression is, this works like a charm. I love it!
However, I am encountering stability issues on my X2200 M2 with two
dual core CPUs and 8 GB RAM. The machine died - I mean completely
died; I had to press the reset button - three times today, while e.g.
compiling gcc on the image or just downloading greater files to the
image.
Is anybody else experiencing this kind of problem or may I have a
hardware problem with my X2200? I never experienced this while not
running VirtualBox. On the other hand I haven't done much with this
machine yet. But I nevertheless guess this is a VirtualBox issue!?
Hints (better workarounds) are greatly appreciated!!
This sounds like a bug. I suggest you to open a bug report and attach
the VBox.log file of a typical VM session there.
As this is an opteron machine, the problem could be related to our
AMD support. Do you have AMD-V enabled for the VM sessions? If so,
try to disable it and see if that makes a difference. You might then
note a worse performance with Solaris guests but this would help to
isolate the problem.
In general, VirtualBox is quite stable, host reboots are _very_ seldom.
I ran another test. This time the complete machine died after 2 days
running two virtual machines that did nothing except warming up air.
The last entries in /var/adm/messages give no clue:

I looked up the log files and found something suspicious:

Any idea?
The AMD-V option was not enabled while running my tests. I have now
enabled it for the next test but I doubt this will help!? What do these
messages in the log files mean?
Thanks a lot,
Andreas
