1 G'day,
2
3 I'm having a problem with VirtualBox and am looking for ideas.
4
5 As background, I'm running virtualbox-bin-4.1.2 on a 2.6.39-gentoo-r2
6 kernel on an AMD Phenom 9850. My vmware install no longer works
7 because vmware wants the BKL and the 2.6.39 kernel doesn't have it.
8 Using vmware-converted the WinXP vmware guest has been converted
9 to .ova format.
10
11 VirtualBox-4.1.2 loads the .ova OK. After clicking "start" the guest
12 starts up, shows the splash screen, then aborts with a blue screen
13 saying:
14
15 A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to
16 prevent damage to your computer.
17
18 If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen,
19 restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these
20 steps:
21
22 Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is
23 identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with
24 the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
25
26 Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS
27 memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use
28 Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer,
29 press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe
30 Mode.
31
32 Technical information:
33
34 *** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005,0x8053A8E3,0xF779E610,0x00000000)
35
36 Using virtualbox-4.1.2 on my wife's Win 7 laptop, the same .ova file
37 works fine.
38
39 Any thoughts on what needs changing in my gentoo environment to
40 successfully run the guest?
41
42 Thank you.
