Problem on VM execution

Post by 60uw »

Hello oracle forums users!

Last time i used my virtual machine, i tried to save the state, not turn the guest OS off.
i got some error on that operation, and now the machine wont boot, with guru meditation error.

I appreciate the help, thanks.


Here are some log parts

You're probably either running VirtualBox 6.1.22 (or older) on a host with Linux kernel 5.13 (or newer), or KVM is running on your Linux host. Both will result in the Guru Meditation -79. If I didn't guess correctly, provide the complete (zipped) VBox.log file.

Just avoid doing what I described, when you want to run VirtualBox.
