#14034 new defect

NMI kernel panics on HP Proliants running RHEL causing machines to reboot at VBoxHost_RTSemEventMultiWaitEx — at Initial Version

Description

Over the past few months we have been experiencing seemingly random reboots of our DL360 G7 and DL360 G6 machines every few days when using VirtualBox 4.3. We don't think we have been suffering from this problem when using VirtualBox 4.2. The vmcore-dmesg.txt file that is written to /var/crash contains stack traces that might seem to implicate VirtualBox as a cause of the crashes

These machines are running recently patched versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago). The problem has been seen on about 6 different machines. This is occuring with VirtualBox 4.3.26 but has been happening with many other recent releases in the 4.3 series. We only have 1 guest VM running on each of these RHEL machines and it is running Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit as a guest.

We have not as far as we know configured the HP Watchdog Timer in any special way. Ticket 13762 seems to bear some similarities to this ticket. I have attached one example of vmcore-dmesg.txt
