Hello,
I installed the OmniOS, but it can't boot:

Which part of my VM configuration is incorrect?

Thank you.

Which part of my VM configuration is incorrect?

Without a vbox.log at least, we can't tell. You should know how to provide one of those.

Also please provide a download link where you got this OS's ISO.

FWIW the second screenshot of the VM window shows a working Virtualbox VM and an OS that is running something OS-ish. OmniOS seems to have booted, at least part way.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply.
The VM log is: https://pastebin.com/DmdWJG5E
I downloaded the ISO file from https://omnios.org/download.html

Though we did have a forum glitch for a few days where Upload Attachment wasn't working, it is now. Please use it, with zipped log files, just like you've done before: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=102143&p=496162#p496162

I'll try the OnmiOS installer shortly, thanks for the link.

Hi,
Thank you again.
I attached the log file:

Hello,
No idea?

Thanks.

I would reduce CPU allocation to 2 cores. I would increase graphics RAM to something MUCH more useful than 9MB. You are not short of RAM, so I'd max the latter out.

But I'm not convinced you have a VM problem - I see no errors or stalls. When did this VM last work?

[hack3rcon]

Hello,
I increased memory to 4GB, CPU to 4 cores and VGA to 32MB, but not matter.
The VM never worked.

I said to reduce to CPU to 2 cores, not increase it to 4. Allocating 75% of available CPU to guest code is bad enough, raising it to 100% is... not productive.

I did and not matter.

Can you install and boot it?

Sorry, my own projects leave me with little time for that kind of thing.

The VBox.log file didn't indicate any issue to me. The guest OS read ~80 MB from the virtual hard disk and switched only vCPU0 to 64-bit mode, which matches your screenshot.

You were using VirtualBox 7.0.2, please try VirtualBox 6.1.40 to avoid running into potential VirtualBox 7.0.x issues.

In the VM configuration, disable System > Processor > Nested VT-x/AMD-V, unless you really need nested virtualization.

[hack3rcon]

Hello,
I disable the Nested VT-x/AMD-V feature, but the problem exists.

Thanks.

I loaded up OmniOS on 7.0.4 and got through the installer and to a login:

Intel Windows host. It did stop for a few seconds "configuring devices" after the Copyright line, but it did proceed to the login.
