Description of problem: Using the latest 7.0.8 version, after installing the GAs, the screen will show the Windows XP logo and go black. The machine boots and works normally (it can be accessed via Remote Desktop), but the main display remains black. It's a known bug already, so just a heads-up. See: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21600 and https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=109139 The workaround is to not update Guest Additions at all, or update Guest Additions from test build VBoxGuestAdditions_7.0.9-157031.iso via Safe Mode. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update VirtualBox to 7.0.8; 2. Open existing Windows XP VM; 3. Update Guest Additions to 7.0.8 and reboot.
Thank you for the report, especially the links. From: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21600 ... This issue should be fixed in the separately downloadable VirtualBox Guest Additions ISOs from the VirtualBox test builds page, with the following minimum revision numbers: 6.1.45r156947, 7.0.9r156960 and 7.0.97r156981 Upgrading from 7.0.97 r156683 to 7.0.97 r156982 solved the problem I have now installed VBoxGuestAdditions_7.0.9-156986.iso on several machines. Win10, WinXP and Win2K. Everything seems to be working perfectly -------- Maybe we need to update our VB guest additions to a sufficiently recent 7.0.9... Unsure how much this is for the end user to do; or where (host or guest system). Assigning to Thomas for VB.

This bug was opened for Mageia 8, but sourse file mga9 We do seem to have same virtualbox version, 7.0.8 in both Mageia 8 & 9, so i assume both are equally affected -> Setting flags correspondingly Users hitting this can find the workaround by searching internet, and this our bugzilla. -> removing FOR_ERRATA9

I experienced this with Windows 7. I just tested virtualbox 7.0.10 in Mageia 8, and the problem has been fixed, at least for Windows 7. Unfortunately, I no longer have an XP guest, but I am optimistic that it has been fixed for that, as well.

I did not see that problem with Windows 7 pro guest on my Mageia 8 (nor 9), nvidia drivers (GPU GTX750) and IIRC also modesetting (only on mga9) tested during VirtualBox 7.0.8.
I saw it on hosts using Radeon and Intel graphics. I don't have any nvidia gpus these days.
I did find an old XP guest, and it works OK with virtualbox 7.0.10's guest additions.
So being fixed by Bug 32124 - Update request: virtualbox-7.0.10-1.mga8 Alexander, can you test that?
Depends on: (none) => 32124
Installed packages: - dkms-virtualbox-7.0.10-1.mga8.x86_64 - virtualbox-7.0.10-1.mga8.x86_64 - virtualbox-kernel-5.15.120-desktop-2.mga8-7.0.10-1.mga8.x86_64 - virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-7.0.10-1.mga8.x86_64 Also updated Guest Additions from known good VBoxGuestAdditions_7.0.9-157031.iso to VBoxGuestAdditions_7.0.10.iso No regressions observed. Windows XP guest from initial message works as expected.
Great, thank you Alexander. Please copy your comment to the other bug as a good test result, and we can sooner ship it :)
