Description Dominic Mason 2019-04-21 09:40:16 UTC

When attempting to start a Windows 7 VirtualBox VM you get the Blue Screen of Death with an error 

"The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant"

There seems to be a similar problem being reported against VirtualBox 6.0.6 by arch users

 https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=92709

and user yan12125 poted a bug report on arch's bug tracker

 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62381#comment178770

He suggests the problem behind the error is 

"Arch Linux comes with newer iasl, which miscompiles SSDT and/or DSDT"

This is confirmed in a post on the arch bug tracker 

"OK I found the cause - iasl from acpica 20190329-1 miscompiles ACPI tables of VirtualBox. Building with older acpica fixes the issue:"


I've raised this on the opensuse forums:

and was pointed at opening a bug here, as above...

This appears to be the same issue of Bug 1132941.

Comment 2 Dominic Mason 2019-04-22 08:16:07 UTC

Looks like someone beat me to posting this. I have marked this a duplicate, although this one has additional information on it, and what someone suggests is the cause


ie 


"iasl from acpica 20190329-1 miscompiles ACPI tables of VirtualBox"
