Hello, I noticed that FreeBSD guests (either i386 or amd64, release 7.x or 8.x, even freshly installed from the install CD) running in VirtualBox (3.1.4 to 3.2.2) on FreeBSD hosts (only tested on 8.0pX amd64, but on 4 machines with different hardware) panic during the boot sequence, just after the "Starting cron" message, and enter an endless loop of reboots: http://old.nabble.com/file/p28823754/panic1.png The same VMs work fine on VirtualBox (any version) on a Windows XP guest, and used to work on VirtualBox 3.1.2 on a FreeBSD host. I can boot a blank VM with the FreeBSD install CD and proceed with installation, but the problem occurs during the first reboot of the installed system. I've no troubles with VM guests using Linuxes (CentOS, Ubuntu, Red Hat) or Windows (XP, 2008). With some additional debug messages, i've seen that the problem happens in /etc/rc.d/mixer: http://old.nabble.com/file/p28823754/panic2.png So, i put a mixer_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf and was able to complete the boot sequence. Unfortunately, a few commands later, even doing a simple "ls", the VM panics again. I tried with a generic kernel instead of a custom one, and an unmodified VirtualBox port, but got the same results. Any idea? Are there other people encountering this? Best regards, Hubert PS: if needed, i can provide root access to an Internet server where the problem happens, to the vbox team. PPS: i haven't filed a PR for this, but can do if wanted. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Panic-with-FreeBSD-Guest-in-FreeBSD-VirtualBox-host-tp28823754p28823754.html Sent from the freebsd-emulation mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
