kernel panic on Virtual Box #118

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I got a kernel panic on my virtual box (very recent standard install). I don't 
know what information to collect on a panic (and how). So attaching the picture.

is this from live cd boot or after installation?

It is after installation.

The kernel panic does not occur always. I am able to work just fine otherwise. 
I thought it might help to report it even if it is once in a while. The host 
machine is Ubuntu.

the PC value from the panic scrolled off :( maybe try to
boot with *nodumpstack=1 parameter. (hit key until you
see > prompt, then type *nodumpstack=1 and boot) it also
looks like a double fault from your screenshot. wired.

what version of virtual box is this?

thanks for reporting btw :)

I will post the screen shot if I see it again.

i think this is most likely a problem when we detect sub mhz cpu frequency. (eg 
m->cpumhz == 0) then intrtime() would divide by zero when trying to scale 
interrupt handling time to the histogram buckets.

geoff added code that will panic the kernel when we guess the cpu frequency 
wrong, which seems to be the problem here. (commited in re5c23972bdda)

commited new guesscpuhz() (commited in r3025c10480cf) that should give more 
stable measurements.
