Hi,
I have a Windows 10 system and have VirtualBox 6.1 on it. I am trying to install Linux Mint 20.3 and CentOS-7 as guest OS on it.
Initially the screen pops up showing the options to install but when choosing to install blank screen appears and then 'Guru Meditation' dialog shows up.
I am attaching log and screenshots. Please help.
Thanks

Re: Linux OSes fail to install in VirtualBox running on Windows 10
There's two things:
1. 3D acceleration is enabled, which requires good host video drivers, and the host video drivers are failing hardening checks. We had a stint of this same time ago. Try upgrading host Virtualbox and Guest Additions.
2. Host Hyper-V is enabled. You have two options:
1. Try the 6.1.35 test build; it's reported to do better with active host Hyper-V. Save the test build installer until you update again later. You'll need it if your host's MSI installation database goes south (they do) and the installer will not be available for download after the next even-number version gets released.
2. Turn off Hyper-V. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).
