I am trying installing Rocky Linux 9 in VM VirtualBox in my Windows system, but the kernel panic issue is coming. I tried in my different windows system, there it was successful, so I tried exporting the appliance from that system and importing it in my system. Then also, its giving the same error.
I am attaching the log here. Please help.

Re: Crash problem: end kernel panic attempted to kill init
Thanks for providing a zipped log without waiting to be prompted. Very refreshing.
In the log I see a number of problems.
First, VirtualBox 6.1.34 had a number of incompatibilities with latest Linux kernels, you should upgrade to 6.1.36.
Next, Rocky seems to be a fork of Red Hat, so you should have chosen "Red Hat (64bit)" as the template to copy.
Third, 1536MB RAM is not a lot to run a 64bit OS in. I hope you researched the OS requirements.
Fourth, 16MB video RAM is not a lot of graphics RAM for a desktop OS. I would increase to at least 64MB, however that leads us to...
Fifth, your host has less than 8GB RAM in total, which is not a lot to run two 64bit OS in. You have 3.7GB free, but this will always be a struggle of conflicting priorities. Your host only has 2 physical cores, so ... again.

Thanks you for the quick reply.
Actually Rocky linux is running in my other windows system with same configurations, so I was wondering why it is not running in my system.
Now, I have updated VM box to 6.1.36 and also increased RAM to 3 GB, CPU to 3 and video RAM to 128. Also changed "Red Hat (64bit)" as template. Still the same issue.
I am attaching the new log. Can you please check, if something else could be found.
Thanks

Re: Crash problem: end kernel panic attempted to kill init
Can you tell me why the VDI attached to this VM has such a strange name?
The VM is called "ePrastutiServerImage-Rocky9", therefore the VDI should have been called "ePrastutiServerImage-Rocky9.vdi". Instead it's called "ePrastutiServerImage-Rocky9-disk001.vdi". This implies that the VM was not created in a normal way: I would guess that it came as an generic OVA but instead of being imported (File|Import appliance...), it was unpacked and a VM manually created around it?
If so then the kernel panic will be due to dramatic differences in the virtual hardware compared to what it saw when the it was created.
I suggest that you install your VirtualBox VM from scratch rather than from an OVA. It usually causes far less problems.
