Virtualbox not working with latest two kernel updates

[Jan46]

With the latest kernel updates 5.13.5-1-siduction-amd64 and 5.13.5-3-siduction-amd64 I cannot start Windows-10 in virtualbox.

When I reboot with kernel 5.12..17-1-siduction-amd64 there is no problem.

As allways, use a recent vbox release and it will work, even with the latest kernel.

I've installed virtualbox 6.1.24 from virtualbox.org to get the Win10-VM running.

[der_bud]

Virtualbox should run on kernel 5.13.x

- if you use distributed Debian packages, with version 6.1.22-dfsg-2 since June 23 (see -> Debian changelog )
- if you use Oracle's packages, with version 6.1.24 since July 20 (see -> Oracle changelog )

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog
The 6.1.24 has a bugfix for linux kernel 5.13. I found also a patch but I was not able to apply to compile it.

That release is not avalaible yet on Debian.

Seems that a kernel parameters fix the issue https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/556271-VirtualBox-crash-(guru-meditation)-with-new-kernel-5-13-0?p=3048343#post3048343

The Debian maintainers patched that already for 6.1.22-dfsg-2

(well, at least "works for me", though)

[Mte90]

I didn't saw that.
Anyway on my instance it wasn't working with the latest vbo version, I was getting a guru meditation error.
Added that kernel parameter, reboot and now is working.

Error by starting siduction 21.6.0 Xfce or other VM's.
I use the same solution as Mte90 and added kernel boot parameter "randomize_kstack_offset=off".

You might think about using the version directly from oracle. It has less problems and you can install it from the .run file. There is a howto on https://axebase.net/blog/2019/01/06/virtualbox-installation-ueber-run/. If there is a new kernel that is not yet supported you can switch to the testing-version that has this support earlier.

the newest version from this evening solved my problem.

Danke devil und jure.

After the update to virtualbox 6.1.26-dfsg-2 and a reboot (without the earlier used kernel boot parameter) I have no problems here to start my VM's.

[Jan46]

Hi,
Yesterday i did the update and after that W 10 is working again with vbox.

Thanks for the support!

Jan

Regular updates are a must with siduction and other rolling releases.
