Details

As Virtualbox was rebuilt lately (1.5.6_1-3), I cannot run my virtual machines: The VBox gui comes up, but as I try to execute a virtual machine, the originally black window flashes up for a second but the BIOS splash screen (with the logo of innotek) does not come up. When running virtualbox from a console, the output says "segmentation fault".

Creating a new virtual machine and running it does not succeed either.

I attach the VBox.log file.

What information should I attach to help your work?

Many thanks for your fast help in advance.

Please do this :

strace -o vbox.txt virtualbox ( from console ) , make it crash and attach the text file in here.

Thx

Same for me, without segfault.

I've joined my strace file : vbox-nosegfault.txt.

I've tried using strace directly on VBoxSVC, VirtualBox and VBoxManage on the console, like this:
$ cd /usr/lib/VirtualBox
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ strace -o ~/vboxsvc.txt ./VBoxSVC&
$ strace -o ~/vbox.txt ./VirtualBox

And tried without admin interface:
$ strace -o ~/vboxmanage.txt ./VBoxManage startvm "RuimXP"

The results, including some dmesg with the segfaults at VBoxREM.so, are attached.

Another new version of virtualbox that still doesn't work: 1.5.6_1-8.
