Description Florian Manschwetus 2022-08-08 05:24:06 UTC
After upgrade to app-emulation/virtualbox-6.1.36 virtualbox is broken due to an invalid pointer exception, when starting any vm.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. VBoxHeadless -s win10

Actual Results:  
VM can't start:

Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 6.1.36_Gentoo
(C) 2008-2022 Oracle Corporation
All rights reserved.

Starting virtual machine: 
Operation failed: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
Error: failed to start machine. Error message: The configuration constructor in main failed due to a COM error. Check the release log of the VM for further details. (VERR_MAIN_CONFIG_CONSTRUCTOR_COM_ERROR)


Expected Results:  
VM starts

Comment 1 Florian Manschwetus 2022-08-08 23:24:57 UTC
app-emulation/virtualbox-6.1.34-r6 seems to work, have to completely revert to be sure
Comment 2 Florian Manschwetus 2022-08-09 05:43:21 UTC
At is defnitely an issue with the vbox version, as after downgrading vbox 6.1.34-r6 and vbox extpack to 6.1.34 vms are working again
Comment 3 Viorel Munteanu gentoo-dev 2022-08-10 04:10:57 UTC
Can you make sure you are using the latest kernel modules?  virtualbox 6.1.36 cannot start virtual machines with virtualbox 6.1.34 kernel modules.

Try `dmesg | grep vboxdrv` and see if you get a line like this:
[    7.756812] vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 6.1.36 r152435 (interface 0x00320000

Also please attach the output of `emerge --info`
Comment 4 Florian Manschwetus 2022-08-10 09:31:16 UTC
cat /sys/module/vbox*/version 
6.1.36 r152435 (0x00320000)
6.1.36 r152435 ((0xA2CDe001U))
6.1.36 r152435 ((0xA2CDe001U))

Strangely with this modules it works using virtualbox 6.1.34
