VBox 5.1 incompatible with Oracle Linux 5 — at Version 4

Reported by: edstevens Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 5.1.18
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

After upgrading VBox from 5.0.32 to 5.1.18, startup of an Oracle Linux 5 guest shows the following on the guest console:

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 21.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue.
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue.

These messages just keep scrolling, alternating between 'reason 21' and 'reason 31' until I finally stop the vm.

VBox version: 5.1.18r114002(Qt5.6.2) Host system: Win7 Pro 64-bit, 16 gb memory Guest system: Oracle Linux 5, 64-bit, 2048 mb memroy

Adding formatting to make reported messages easier to read:

Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled? 
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue. 
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31.

Can you tell use the exact Oracle Linux 5 kernel you're using in the guest?

Post the output of the following from the guest:

uname -a
cat /etc/oracle-release

or if 'oracle-release' file doesn't exist, perhaps:

cat /etc/enterprise-release
