Description rkoberman 2018-01-18 00:34:51 UTC

If emulators/virtualbox-ose 5.2.6 tries to resume a paused VM from 5.2.4, it fails to start with the error:
VBoxManage: error: ich9pci#0: Device in slot 0xc0 has been removed! vendor=0x8086 device=0x2448 [ver=3 pass=final] (VERR_SSM_LOAD_CONFIG_MISMATCH)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component ConsoleWrap, interface IConsole

If the VM is shutdown prior to the upgrade, it starts normally.

Perhaps a note in UPDATING?

> This is a side effect of a code cleanup in 5.2.6. In the past with ICH9 there were unconditionally 2 bridges present, and now they're only present if the VM config needs them. The result is what you observed - a saved state incompatibility. It would be possible to fix this, but it's very hard to justify this effort for a feature which is marked as experimental, without having any explanation why ICH9 was picked.

I think requested was not a solution, only:
