Kernel Panic when installing openSUSE

Post by sukrutha »

I am facing the same issue on Windows 11 Pro.
I am unable to create opensuse linux VM. Throws the kernel panic error.
Attaching the logs and screenshot here.
Can someone help me.

I tried changing the chip and other things. No help. Same error repeats.

This may have damaged the VM:

It's called "thrashing" and it often breaks more than it helps.

Please make a new VM. Don't change anything except to increase RAM and disk size to desired amounts, and try two processors in the VM.

If that doesn't get past the kernel panic, try disabling host Hyper-V: See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

If you haven't already eliminated Hyper-V, please try if the following command helps:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/CPUM/IsaExts/POPCNT" "1"

I referred this ticket #20939 in the virtualbox website for kernel panic problem with Windows 11.

It works like a charm for VM, but then Docker fails. It's a win-loose war.

You have to disable: 3 options under "Turn off windows features on or off"
(1) Virtual Machine Platform
(2) Windows Hypervisor Platform
(3) Hyper-V..

Now, you VM will start normally. But disbling option (1) will not allow docker to run.

May be run a docker in VM itself!

You could also try my suggestion after re-enabling Hyper-V. ;)
