| 594256 | 2007-09-23 10:18:00 | I haven't had a very good run with virtualisation software this year. Some of you may recall that I played around with Altiris SVS several months ago, claiming it was the best thing since sliced bread. Turns out it's too fragile for someone like me to use on a regular basis, and I managed to crash my system several times while using it (and causing serious damage to the OS). Lately I've been playing with Virtualbox. My friend pointed me to it as it has a really good "Seamless" mode which lets you run a VM alongside the host OS (see: www.imagef1.net.nz). The problem is that sometimes when I'm "Shutting down" the guest OS running in Virtualbox, it causes my entire system to BSOD, which subsequently causes the virtual disk image to become corrupted and hence completely unusuable. I have run into this issue twice today. The BSOD error message is the standard "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", and the last section of the code is 0x8522852D. And yes I have googled both of these. A bit of research has suggested that it may have been caused by hardware virtualisation being enabled, however that was apparently fixed in the latest release of Virtualbox (which I have). Does anyone, in particular those who use/have used Virtualbox, have any suggestions about where to go from here? I am running a WinXP Pro guest OS on top of a WinVista Ultimate host. Both are 100% legal and licenced copies (XP Pro via MSDN, Vista came with the PC). |
