Hello,
My system is an amd64 box running FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE on top of ZFS.
I try to setup a VirtualBox VM from an Ubuntu 12.04 Server
installation CD in a headless mode using VNC.
Top shows that VBoxHeadless process consumes 100% CPU almost all the
time and it takes forever to boot from the CD image:
PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU
COMMAND
1652 vbox 19 22 0 358M 170M IPRT S 3 7:18 100.00%
VBoxHeadless
I get lots of repeating "ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0
},0x0) = 0 (0x0)" lines every time I try to run truss on the running
VBoxHeadless process, like this:
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
ioctl(7,0x200056c1 { IO 0x56('V'), 193, 0 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)
and it looks like this system call prevails in truss stats:
[root@ci ~]# wc -l truss.vbox.log
1174962 truss.vbox.log
[root@ci ~]# cat truss.vbox.log | grep 'ioctl(7,0x200056c1' | wc -l
1013997
[root@ci ~]#
FD 7 is /dev/vboxdrv0, does this indicate a problem in communicating
with a kernel VirtualBox driver?
What should I do to resolve this situation?
I've noticed that in my FreeBSD there is /dev/vboxdrv (not vboxdrv0)
driver..
Probably different kernel module versions.?
Could you write down the VBoxManage commands you use to create the VM ?
Yeah sure:
VBoxManage createhd --filename "st11.vdi" --size 30000
VBoxManage createvm --name Stage11 --ostype Ubuntu_64 --register
VBoxManage modifyvm Stage11 --memory 1024 --boot1 dvd --nic1 bridged
--bridgeadapter1 em0
VBoxManage storagectl Stage11 --name "SATA Controller" --add sata
--controller IntelAHCI --hostiocache on
VBoxManage storageattach Stage11 --storagectl "SATA Controller" --port
0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium "st11.vdi"
VBoxManage storagectl Stage11 --name "IDE Controller" --add ide
--controller PIIX4
VBoxManage storageattach Stage11 --storagectl "IDE Controller" --port
0 --device 0 --type dvddrive --medium ~/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso
Why do you use 2 controllers? I'm almost sure you can plug the ISO file
to SATA controller
Have you tried booting the machine only with CD attached?
And post the VBoxManage showvminfo VM_NAME output.
[vbox@ci /usr/home/vbox]$ VBoxManage showvminfo Stage11

BTW I've tried to disable nested pages, IOAPIC and ACPI but to no avail.
I've created (without HDD) VM only with CD:

For me it works without any issues.
The thing is that I am using VirtualBox 4.2.4 (it works well on my
environment, under 9.1-PRERELEASE amd64).
I'd recommend you to upgrade to 4.2.4
What is your hardware?
Core i7-3930K on Intel DX79TO w/64 Gb RAM, ST33000651AS and ST3000DM001 HDDs
Ok, that should be supporting virtualization well ;)
Let me know about the results.
