Ubuntu 12.10 64bit host reboots when trying to install any guest system using VirtualBox
- by gts123
I am having a really nasty problem with VirtualBox as everytime I try to install any guest OS(using ISO file as CD for installation media), the installation starts normally but as soon as it is about to start either installing to virtual hard drive or loading(e.g. as LiveFS) it causes the host system to reboot abruptly. Config is as below:
Host system: Ubuntu 12.10 64bit - Intel® Core i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz × 4
Virtualbox version: 4.1.18_Ubuntu r78361
Guest OS systems tried: 32bit version of FreeBSD 9, Debian 6, Tails 0.14
VM setup
Tried to have the minimal setup necessary just in case it would avoid for each system to make sure I'd avoid conflicts, but to no avail. I've tried different values and combinations of the below but the problem still persists:
Shared Clipboard: Disabled
Show in fullscreen/seamless: Disabled
Remember runtime changes: DIsabled
Base Memory: 2048 MB
Chipset: PIIX3
IO APIC: Disabled
EFI: Disabled
Absolute Pointing device: Disabled
Processor(s): 1 CPU
PAE/NX: Disabled
VT-x/AMD-V: Disabled
Video Memory: 12 MB
3d/2d acceleration: Disabled
Storage IDE COntroller: PIIX3 (same as chipset instead of PIIX4)
Use host I/O cache: No
Audio: disabled
Network adapter: NAT
USB controller: disabled
No shared folder
Also another sideeffect of the reboot is that it appears that it does not log any information in the error log files; not making things any easier.
Please help.
