Putting Virtualbox 7 into the Ubuntu LTS repos is problematic too, since as per comment #25, that change will also break people's VMs.
5.15 is a LTS kernel version. I think it is reasonable to expect it to continue to support the applications that ran on it at the time it went into LTS, even if those applications are themselves out of support and would not work on the latest kernel. LTS is supposed to be stable, not breaking combinations of things that worked yesterday, at least not without a very good reason. Good luck with the upstream bug, @mapengyu, and thanks for your efforts. It's great to know that the root cause has been isolated, and the possibility of a solution is in sight. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-signed-hwe-5.15 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2073267 Title: Virtualbox Guru meditation on VM start caused by kernel commit in v6.9-rc4 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux-signed-hwe-5.15 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It worked yesterday, but today I get a Guru Meditation trying to start some of my virtual machines. This shows up in VBox.log as "VCPU0: Guru Meditation -2708 (VERR_VMM_SET_JMP_ABORTED_RESUME)". I suspect this may have started due to a Linux kernel upgrade I installed this morning. A fresh VM with no disk shows the issue. Sometimes turning off the I/O APIC makes the issue go away, sometimes not. Turning off nested paging sometimes lets VirtualBox make a little bit of progress w.r.t. booting VMs, but that usually still crashes before the VM finishes starting.
