#1481 fixed WinXP guest does not boot after upgrade to 1.6.0 christoph.lukas
Description

I have been running VirtualBox 1.5.6 on an Ubuntu Gutsy host. I have installed a WinXP guest some month ago.

After upgrading VirtualBox from 1.5.6-28266 to 1.6.0-30421 this WinXP guest does not boot any more. It stops just after the Bios screen with 'Media error'. I did not touch the configuration of this guest.

This might be caused by a different hard disk layout presented by the bios:

VirtualBox 1.5.6:
00:00:03.958 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#0: disk, CHS=21845/16/63, total number of sectors 22020096
00:00:08.550 Guest Log: BIOS: ata0-0: PCHS=16383/16/63 translation=lba LCHS=1024/255/63
00:00:08.626 Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from Hard Disk...
00:00:08.871 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 15, unmapped device for ELDL=81

VirtualBox 1.6.0:
00:00:03.259 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#0: disk, PCHS=16383/16/63, total number of sectors 22020096
00:00:03.738 Guest Log: BIOS: ata0-0: PCHS=16383/16/63 LCHS=1024/16/63
00:00:06.223 Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from Hard Disk...
00:00:06.224 Guest Log: BIOS: int13_harddisk: function 02, parameters out of range 0001/0031/0008!

Booting the guest system from a knoppix cd both VirtualBox versions show a disk geometry of CHS=21845/16/63 according to fdisk -l. In both VirtualBox versions I can access /dev/hda1 as a valid windows partition.

Please let me know if I can supply any further information.

Thanks in advance, Christoph

#1482 invalid Trying VirtualBox on Vista trashed latter --> Vista re-install Pierre
Description

We have a recent system (summary below) and installing Linux wouldn't work, because SATA chip I think. Anyway, that's another thread.

So I thought I'd try out VirtualBox which sounds like it could have solved our problem. Installing went smoothly. Creating the VM went fine (except that I thought three hours to prepare the fixed-size, 16G VDI file was very long). Then I donwloaded Fedora-8-Live-i686.iso (Fedora live CD), mounted it to the VM. I also configured a host network interface and attached that to the VM. Otherwise, pretty much everything was default I think.

At this point, I clicked on START, expecting the live CD to come up. The VM window opened, and, after a few seconds, a final message appeared in the black text window saying (roughly) that it couldn't boot from the device. Within a second, an Apple process on Vista (~ QT helper) popped up a message complaining about something being broken. Then I clicked to close the VM window, and got a BSoD.

The BSoD said: STOP 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x80D66EE3, 0x88B67858, 0x88B67554). It referred to bowser.sys. It then said something about initializing the disk and dumping memory to that.

After power cycling (my only option), Vista wouldn't boot: File \windows\system32\winload.exe, Status: 0xc000000f, File missing or corrupt. Repair attempts failed (perhaps I missed something), so I ended up having to re-install everthing :-(. So no VirtualBox logs of course.

I doubt I'll try VirtualBox again, but maybe above can help future users. Two final notes: it could very well be Vista itself that auto-destructed on the BSoD (the message about initializing the disk sounds scary!). Question: could the problem with VirtualBox be related to Vista SP1 (a very recent install on my Vista)? Your notes don't mention Vista SPs.

A bit disappointed, Pierre

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB)
  • NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard

#1483 fixed Keyboard, mouse and VT-x/AMD-V issues on VirtualBox 1.6 (Ubuntu 8.04) -> fixed in 1.6.2 samiux
