Description Victor Costan 2015-06-02 22:25:37 UTC

I can repro this consistently by installing Hearthstone on Windows 7, and trying to run the game. The repro is rather bulky. FWIW, at least the bits can be obtained gratis (Win7 has a trial, Hearthstone is free to play).

The kernel log is filled with these messages:

[ 1167.316496] nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] PBDMA0: ch 11 [VBoxCrWinCmd[6069]] subc 0 mthd 0x000c data 0x20030298
[ 1167.316510] nouveau E[   PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] PBDMA0: METHOD


The bug appears to be very similar to the following Ubuntu bug, which has more debugging information:

Please let me know if I can supply extra information to help debug this.

The launchpad link shows a fairly old version of mesa being used. Can you try with Mesa 11.0.3 and see if the issue persists?

Comment 2 Victor Costan 2015-10-23 06:16:46 UTC

I got the following errors with Fedora 23 and VirtualBox 5.0. The display freezes completely, so I had to get the information from journalctl using the previous boot info.
