            Bug ID: 296388
           Summary: emulators/virtualbox-ose Saved Mint Cinnamon VM dies
                    on restart
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: vbox@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rkoberman@gmail.com

After saving my Mint Cinnamon VM, attempting to start the saved system fails
with:
Failed to load unit 'vga' (VERR_SSM_STRUCTURE_MAGIC).
leaving the VM as 'Aborted-Saved' I see no problems with a Windows10 VM. No
idea whether any other OS guest has the problem.

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

The only way to restore the VM is to discard the saved system and reboot. The
reboot works cleanly but saving and restarting the VM again fails with the same
error. 

Not sure when I last used this VM, but I suspect not since updating from 71 to
virtualbox-ose-72-7.2.8_1 on June 18.

The system is running  16.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #103
