Guru Meditation -4002 (VERR_VMX_INVALID_VMXON_PTR)

Description
I have an Ubuntu 13.04 with Virtualbox 4.2.10 (also tried 4.2.12 with same result!). All my Guests (Windows 2008R2, Windows XP, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 12.10, ...) are crashing very fast. Most likely after a couple of minutes are some hours with a Guru Meditation. The guests are set up differently. Most only have one processors, some have more than one. All have current guest tools on them.
Logs are attached...

Do you have running any other VMM in parallel to VirtualBox by chance, for example KVM?
comment:3 by , 11 years ago
Actually the VT-x code was almost completely rewritten and the next major release will contain many improvements in this regards. Could you install this test build and check if you still experience the problem? Even if so then the resulting VBox.log will hopefully show a clearer picture what's going on. The problem with the 4.2.10 code is that the same error code was used for a number of error conditions.

I have LXC running as well. Don't know if that is a VMM you have in focus?
Could you provide a DEB or RPM so I can uninstall it after testing?
comment:5 by , 11 years ago
I doubt that LXC is such a VMM because it follows a completely different approach than a virtual machine. But it cannot hurt to stop all LXC containers while you run a virtual machine in VirtualBox to check if it makes any difference.

Still using VirtualBox 4.2.10 and having all LXCs stopped. But without any success. Still have Guru Meditations.

Did you consider updating the BIOS of your host?
comment:8 by , 11 years ago
We now upgraded BIOS to latest version, but we still have the same problem.
Our mainboard is a Supermicro X8DT3/X8DTI and it has now BIOS R 2.1.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.3.2.

I receive the exact same error using v4.3.12 r93733.
Host OpenSuse 13.1. Guest WinXP SP3.
Is there a way to run 3.x on OpenSuse 13.1? I used 3.x for years on CentOS without difficulty, tried upgrading to 4.x once, hit things like this, and reverted. Now on OpenSuse, I don't seem to have that option. Note: I do see the old binaries, just not for my OS version.
Thanks.

I get the same error.
Virtualbox 4.3.16 r95972 Host Win7 64bit Installing quest Win8 64bit
I have Vagrant installed on this machine too but of course not running it the same time. Attached the log.

ilkkah, you are actually running Windows 8.1, correct? In that case your guest OS type is wrong!
