[Bug 474458] [NEW] starting VirtualBox VM after 9.4 to 9.10 upgrade failed

[Michael Sidenius]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

After upgrading from 9.4 to 9.10 the VM's (Ubuntu and Win XP) will not
start correctly. Error message is:


Failed to start the virtual machine Ubuntu-9.4-server.
Unable to restore the virtual machine's saved state from '/home/michael/.VirtualBox/Machines/Ubuntu-9.4-server/Snapshots/{f33d4d83-a0eb-4e27-9cb1-c20336e899c6}.sav'. It may be damaged or from an older version of VirtualBox. Please discard the saved state before starting the virtual machine (VERR_SSM_LOAD_CONFIG_MISMATCH).

Details:
Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: 
Console
Interface: 
IConsole {0a51994b-cbc6-4686-94eb-d4e4023280e2}

I did try to delete some of the save snapshots but the same result.
Maybe the VM was not converted correctly during the upgrade.

I tried uninstall VirtualBox and reinstall again, same result.

Virtual box is 3.0.8_OSE r53138 now in 9.10, unfortunately I don't know
the version included in 9.4.
