• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: UNCONFIRMED ---

[Description Helmut Jarausch 2025-03-22 15:57:40 UTC]

virtualbox-7.1.6a with kernel 6.13.7-gentoo fails when I try to start it.

dmesg shows
segfault at 7f6ac7018000 ip 00007f6ac49736d0 sp 00007f6b0c182b60 error 7 in VBoxDD.so[e46d0,7f6ac4899000+24a000] likely on CPU 6 (core 6, socket 0)
[15461.760319] Code: 01 c5 f9 7f 45 a0 c7 45 c0 00 00 00 00 75 4b 31 db 49 89 f5 4c 8d 75 9c c5 f8 77 eb 18 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 66 90 <41> 89 84 9c 88 11 01 00 48 ff c3 4c 89 f2 89 de 4c 89 ef c7 45 9c

Which additional information is required?
Thanks,

Helmut

Most probably you've hit this bug: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/22289

Can you try with 3D disabled?  If it works, the only known workaround to have 3D enabled is to downgrade to 7.1.4.
