Network fell down and removed a vr?

Network fell down and removed a vr?

So I had this network which topology is this:

21594b7dd67d4a74a2774951a772e405_RackMultipart20150401-28234-1i6l16o-network_topology_inline.jpg



And I had OSPF up and running and everything seemed to be well. I fired up a windows 7 32-bit host machine under Switch1, enabled port 2, added vlan to it as untagged and suddenly Switch1 gave this error:

21594b7dd67d4a74a2774951a772e405_RackMultipart20150401-31383-9wx6j0-ONGELMA_inline.jpg



I shut down the host and rebooted everything, and everything was fine. I fired up host once again and this same error occurred in under one minute. I rebooted everything once again and took the host down so the situation would calm down.

Now I noticed in Router1 had my VR and vlan "internet" removed?? I had "vr-corporation" and everything under it. Both default vlan and vr-default were "disabled". Now I watch Router1 configs and everything is preserved but vlan "internet" and vr "vr-corporation" has completely vanished. I tried to load my configurations again but they did not appear.

Now I tried to load the configurations again and it only says:
"This command cannot be executed during configuration load."

What is happening??

Would like to know why this thread has been marked as "Solved"?

The problem still consists.

Thanks. This evil HAL is taking over me  last night while I was making configs it told me to give up.
I am using VirtualBox v4.3.26 r98988 with extension pack (aka the latest one).
The problem can also be in the host itself, since without it everything works well. I will try with other kinds of hosts also.

At first look, I don't see an obvious issue in your config. Remember that this is VM, so there's no dataplane, it's (partially) emulated through software. The process crashing is HAL, and while we could see a correlation here with 2001 a space odyssey in the sense it's hurting you, this is the Hardware Abstraction Layer. So maybe a small hint.

I'll try to find time to check your config on my VM setup.

But I have already ran many VM with user created VR, MPLS, BGP and OSPF running in it without issues.

What version of VirtualBox do you have?

.. I tried again to open the host (win7 with ip 192.168.10.5/24) and it all fell down again. Is there anyone who can make any sense in this? Have I added the ports correctly?

Thanks

edit: I have purposely disabled the port on switch1 to prevent the crash. Port 2 has the host attached in it.
