Hi, patch applied on jessie branch http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/commit/?h=jessie experimental should already be fine. thanks! cheers, G.

Bug#783142: [Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#783142: VMs fail to start on Broadwell CPUs
Hi Frank, Hi all, please be aware that the patch mentioned below by Gianfranco is not sufficient for Linux = 3.19. The complete patch can be found here: https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/13961/diff_smap_4 See https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13961#comment:18 for the explanation. you are completely right, *but* jessie is shipped with kernel 3.16, if people want kernel 3.19 they need to use it from experimental (or build from source) virtualbox in experimental already has the full patch you mentioned above http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/commit/?id=8345a3bfb01591402639a7ddab22e52a0d8ce471 So I presume in order to have a minimum diff for the jessie post release update we can use the minimal patch, and use backport/experimental for people who want to try newer kernels. I tried to apply manually the patch on 4.3.18 but it doesn't apply cleanly. cheers, G. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hi,
virtualbox doesn't work on Broadwell CPUs; all VMs fail to start no
matter what the user configures in the VM settings.
This was reported upstream at https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13820
I verified that the patch by Frank works on my Thinkpad X250 with such
a CPU. I'm attaching a suitable Debian diff.
Please fix this for the jessie 8.1 point release, Broadwell CPUs will
become increasingly popular and Vbox is completely broken on them.
Now really attached.
Cheers,
Moritz
