15571,Solaris 8 Generic_108529-05 installer crashes Vbox 5.0.24 if VT-x is enabled,kumba,,"Discovered while trying to randomly boot a Solaris 8 x86 ISO I scrounged up on a Windows Server 2008R2 host.  If the boot medium is SunOS 5.8 Generic_108529-05 and VT-x is enabled, then the installer will trigger a general protection fault when it tries to load the interactive installation.  This fault also causes a NULL pointer deref attempt, which is caught by the Windows Host and that specific VM window is force-closed.  The main VBox window then reports the Solaris 8 guest's status as ""Aborted"".

I have two screenshots, one of the VM window containing the Solaris 8 kernel panic details, and the second is the dialog popup showing the NULL pointer deref attempt.  I'll also attach the VBox.log file, though it appears the VM dies earlier enough that nothing significant about the error was logged.

The problem is not present in a later release of Solaris 8, namely Generic_108529-11.  Booting an install CD with that version works fine with VT-x enabled.  So I assume the bug was more of a Solaris one, but I figured the crash generating a NULL deref attempt might be ticketable for you guys.",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 5.0.24,fixed,"solaris8, vt-x",,Solaris,Windows
