How do I do that in VBox? If I try the crtl-alt-Fx key combination, it's not trapped by VBox, and is passed to the host, which switched consoles quite happily :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This looks similar to the symptoms discussed in http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org/msg37042.html, but that one was believed to be a PPC problem (?!) -> CCing Tejun Heo anyway. This bug also reminded me that I was planning to make CONFIG_IPV6=y for all kernel flavours (Bug #561611). Did that just now. If this really were some kind of race between IPv6 initialization and the socket syscall (as suggested by Bug #574463, Comment 9), having IPV6=y will work around this. Bug #574463, Comment 10:

I checked the log while booting with 700 MB VM. In that case, the system does not try to load ipv6. There must be some kind of free RAM test that skips the load. Without IPV6, the load succeeds.

Huh? I really doubt we have any check like that in the installation system. I will have a look. I will dig into this more next week. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The original hang issue : Adding ipv6.disable to the installer boot options works just fine. I tried this with a couple of different installations, above and below 700MB RAM. With ipv6 disabled, all installations succeed. Subsequent reboots do NOT need the ipv6 boot option - they work anyway. I also tried with ipv6 support enabled and disabled in YaST2 - no difference. The system boots and runs X quite happily, so it seems that it only the installer that needs ipv6.disable. Perhaps someone else can confirm? The newer failing to start X issue : I see this in Virtualbox 3.1.4 only if I install the VBox Guest Additions. I think this is a separate issue, and should perhaps be pushed over to a different bug? I saw errors in the kernel module loads for the VBox additions - the vboxvfs module fails at modprobe with..... FATAL : Error inserting vboxvfs (/lib/modules/2.6.33-5-default/misc/vboxvfs.ko): Invalid module format Running startx after that produces the X hang described by others. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I installed it to hard disk some time before, so it's available for testing - but doesn't work in X. X doesn't start. Looking into Xorg.0.log, it seems that X is using radeonhd video driver. And even correctly detects screen resolution 1440x900. Final result is the same as with VirtualBox - graphics screen (Terminal 7) is black/blanc. My original bug report for this problem is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581636 And it seems, for now, that problem for installation in VirtualBox is different from ASUS M51Ta/ATI 3650. When I look at Terminal 8 after startup, I see in on-screen log that X was also trying to load fglrx driver, but failed. Is it possible to use fglrx driver with Kernel 2.6.33/OpenSUSE 11.3 MS3? If yes - how I can install it from command prompt or Yast2 running in text mode?

Hi Vadim ! these bugs with X and vbox mouse driver should be fixed in Milestone 4 see bnc#584085 and bnc#587980

Hi Michal! I confirm that bug with X and 'vboxmouse' has been fixed in OpenSUSE 11.3 Milestone4. Installation of KDE Live CD has been done in VirtualBox 3.1.6 (hosted in Windows Vista).

Is your VB the OSE version? I'm running the pre-compiled variety as I need pass-thru for USB devices.

I was using OSE, yes. But now I tried with the pre-compiled version and still could not reproduce the problem :( -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After more debugging I see that the machine is stuck in an endless loop of page faults. The page fault is triggered by the memset at fec0000 and the page fault is thought to be "spurious" (stale TLB entry) by the page fault handler, so the kernel does nothing, the STOS instruction of memset is restarted and the pagefault triggers again. The reason code for the page fault is 3, that is a protection fault during a write operation. Looking at the PMD entry and PTE of the fec00000 page, the page is set to be writeable, so I don't understand why this happens. The i386 specification says that the TLB should be flushed automatically after a PF trap, and that is why the PF handler does nothing if it believes the PF was "spurious". So, this could either be a VB bug (because it is VB that emulates the paging, traps, etc in the guest), or there is some other reason why a page protection fault can happen besides the permission bits in the PTE/PMD entry.

[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x01] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0]) ... [ 44.781407] * pcpu debug:going to memset: chunk=e8e71140, cpu=0, off=8832, size=64, addr=fec00000

Yes, I also thought this was the reason at first, but I think the IOAPIC address refers to a physical address, while the allocated memory that memset faults on is at virtual address fec00000, right?

2.6.34-rcX has a random memory corruption bug which is showing up as various boot failures. Yinghai has a patch.

This looks pretty deterministic, It fails at exactly the same place for more people.

-rc3 has the fix which got committed to suse kernel repo a couple of days ago. It should soon appear on Factory.

Also, this bug is probably going to stop appearing with the new kernel in Factory, because I recently switched IPv6 to be compiled-in. Most likely, this bug is not related to IPv6 at all and it is just a coincidence that the order in which the install CD image loads kernel modules makes IPv6 be the first one to need a new allocation of pcpu data and trigger this bug. With IPv6 compiled in, this order is going to change and the bug will either be triggered by something else or will not show at all. But even if this bug disappears, I think it is worth finding out what the cause was, before it causes other headaches in a different situation. More debugging soon, I currently have some more urgents bugs to deal with. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Indeed, but it still gets on my nerves that they share the same address.

On the same configuration, this will cause the same failure. Given that virtual envs end up being the same on multiple configurations, I still think this could be the culprit. Maybe it's a good idea to test w/ -rc3 with ipv6 compiled as module or -rc2 w/ only Yinghai's fix applied?

It's an edge case where the guest writes to a non-present guest page in the same region our hypervisor is located. That caused a #PF storm inside the guest, because the hypervisor range conflict check was performed too late.

The real problem comes from the VirtualBox code. There is a fix in the svn repository for the OSE version of VB; however, that fix will not be in the version I use until 3.1.8. It is definitely not in the 3.1.6 version that I'm using. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
