VirtualBox: suse 15.0 freezes in boot sequence after kernel update openSUSE-2018-1140

Deutsch (German) Installation/Administration

Hi,

Environment: Host: Windows 10 64 bit, VM:virtual box 5.2.18r124319 (Qt5.6.2), GUEST: OpenSUSE Leap 15.0

After openSuse Leap 15.0 updated the kernel via openSUSE-2018-1140 Suse couldn’t be started any longer as guest in a virtual box VM on a Windows 10 Host.

Yesterday I’ve reported this issue to Oracle-VirtualBox, too (ID 18041).

Best Regards

PS: I don’t see a way to attach log files. Correct?

Entweder:
Starte immer mit einer älteren Kernel Version oder lösche alles mit virtualbox-guest im Namen.

Dear all,
since Kernel Update SuSE-2018-1140 Kernel-4.12.14-lp150.12.19.2 I got Problems on VM Virtualbox Systems that booting failse.
I inspect there is a new BTRFS Module in the Kernel Update.
A Snapper undochange on xxx…xxx making a reset to booting older Kernel successful

  • host OS opensuse Leap 15.0
  • host VM-Manager Virtualbox 5.2.18_SUSE r123745
  • Client VM-OS opensuse Leap 15.0

Booting stop at Message: BTRFS info (device sda2): has skinny extents

THIS DON’T HAPPENS BY KERNEL-UPDATE ON HARWAREDISKS HDD / SSD

Its an Kernel Problem so use the kernel in grub before this Update.

This happens for me as well, with VirtualBox running on a Mint host.

OpenSUSE guest addition does not exist for 19.2 and 16.1 guest additions has wrong structures.

Installing the testbuilds Virtualbox guest additions fixed it for me until OpenSUSE adds this to the repos.

I succeeded with the VBoxGuestAdditions_5.2.97-125744.iso from the development builds from here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

that worked perfectly. for those wanting to do this.

  • boot up in 16.1 and zypper rm virualbox-guest*
  • reboot into 19.2 and zypper in kernel-default-devel (you might not be able to resize the screen - mine came up 800x600)
  • insert the downloaded iso from the above site and put in the virtual CD drive.
  • run the install then reboot. My virtual machine screen went south as it installed but the home (right ctrl) and f1 allowed me to login as root, run top to see if it was done and then reboot.

Virtualbox folks want the host to be theirs too but it runs fine with the OpenSUSE repos VirtualBox host install.

New fixed kernel will be released this week I think.

Its in the test-repo.

So no need…

Otherwise start with an older kernel instead the broken one.

So, don’t install the guest additions until SuSE drops a new kernel? Or is this a guest additions issue and I need to wait until the next VB update?

This is an old thread and in the Geramn subforum.
