Failed to load unit 'PATM' (VERR_SSM_LOADED_TOO_MUCH, PATM)

[Edward Yang]

I have a guest Fedora version 13 running inside VirtualBox since 3.2.0 (or older) and upgraded all the way to 3.26. It had been working fine.

Yesterday I saved the guest OS while KDE session is loading (it's very slow). Now I get this error when I try to restore the state.

It happened again today... It seems I have to discard the state again.

[Edward Yang]

BTW, now I have the latest version 3.2.8.

Same Error here. I have successfully saved and restored that machine several times in a row, before. I have not updated VirtualBox in between.

[Edward Yang]

The bug happened again today.

Stumbled upon this again, after updating from 4.0 to 4.0.4.

Wow, this is a very old bug report. Please close it anyway.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 server 64b with Ubuntu-Desktop installed on top.

I am running VirtualBox version 4.3.2 r90405 64b My guest OS is Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4. All was working well until I tried to install another guest Ubuntu 13.10 64b. My computer is a HP G61 laptop and it has no VT-x switch in the BIOS. An upgrade to BIOS F.23 did not give the required switch so I concluded I can not run 64b operating systems in VM. (I can run the 32b version).

However and here is my problem I cannot save and then restart my Windows 2000 OS in VM. I can start it from shut-down but not from a saved state. And It is this I must do for my system to work.

The error I get

Failed to load unit 'PATM' (VERR_SSM_LOADED_TOO_MUCH).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
