I recently got a new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.2, and I installed Boot2Docker 1.5.0 on it. Aside from Chrome, this is the first program I installed on my new machine. However, when I try to run it, the terminal window opens up for a few seconds, saying boot2docker is up, and then my computer restarts automatically.

I tried to uninstall 1.5.0 and install 1.4.1 (as that is what I was using on my last machine), but I encountered the same problem.

The last thing I see before my laptop restarts is the second image, and the error report my computer shows after the restart is the first image here: https://i.stack.imgur.com/okbx3.png

Has anyone every had this problem before, or know how I can address it? Thanks!

  • If you want a screen grab on your Mac, press `Cmd+Shift+4` and then draw a box around whatever you want. – Mark Setchell Apr 15 '15 at 15:41
  • Did you install `boot2docker` using `homebrew`, i.e. `brew install boot2docker` ? It is the easiest and most reliable way on a Mac. – Mark Setchell Apr 15 '15 at 15:43
  • 1.4 helped me instead of 1.5 – resultsway Apr 15 '15 at 23:14

Instead of using Boot2Docker, have you considered making a linux virtual machine on your mac? Then you would just run docker on the virtual machine. This fixed all of the problems I had with boot2docker.

The point of boot2docker is to enable docker to run on your mac. If you use a linux VM you will no longer need boot2docker.

  • Thanks for the tip. I'm going to be doing this from now on, as I have had some other minor problems with boot2docker before. – Jon Swanson Apr 16 '15 at 19:17

I posted this question in AskDifferent as well, and it turns out there was a problem with OS X Security Update 2015-003 and boot2docker/virtualbox, as per this link: https://github.com/boot2docker/boot2docker/issues/800

Updating my version of VirtualBox remedied the situation.
