MacOS – Mac crashes every time I try to run boot2docker

crashmacos

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 this:

The error report my computer shows after the restart is this:

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

EDIT: I downloaded the installer from boot2docker's github repo: github.com/boot2docker/osx-installer/releases

The fix is to install the latest VirtualBox.
