When the OL8.6 Guest OS install completes, it needs to reboot. I get the kernel panic shown here:
Tried to upload the log file but it is 400K and the limit is 128K. Not sure which parts I should excert and upload. Guidance would be much appreciated.
Guest has 16GB RAM and 36GB disk. All of it was autoconfigured by the OL8.6 installation.
I tried running the OL8.6 Rescue image and it panics the same way.
Just upgraded to VBox 6.1.40, but that didn't change the results.
Two different Windows 2012 guests run ok on this Windows 11 Host, but those were originally created some years ago. Windows 11 Host has 32 GB of memory and 3 TB storage on the D:\ drive that the Guest VDI and machine reside on.
I'm not a Linux Admin and don't know what other things I can try. I read a post here about enabling or disabling hyperthreading and hardware virtualization, but not sure if that might be a source of the problem.
Thanks for any and all help.

The whole thing, please. Zipped logs fit.EMPOracleLinux wrote:Tried to upload the log file but it is 400K and the limit is 128K.
If the green turtle inhabits the VM's Status bar, then try 2 processors in the VM.EMPOracleLinux wrote:Windows 11 Host,

Duh, I shoulda thought of zipping it.
I don't see any green turtles but I'm not sure where to look. It's not in the VBox Mgr window.
Tried two processors and got the same kernel panic. Attached that log file here.

Re: Post-install Reboot of OL8 kernel panic - kill init!
The only issues I see in the log are:
1.
2.
If using a Graphical Desktop then 16 MB VRAM is not likely to be enough and would suggest maxing to 128 MB
1.
Allocating more RAM to the VM than is available. I would suggest re-trying the VM with 4 GB RAM initially; and only increase that allocation if that proves to be insufficient for what the VM actually needs, but also make sure the VM is not trespassing on what the Windows Host is needs.00:00:02.994619 Host RAM: 32603MB (31.8GB) total, 12453MB (12.1GB) available
00:00:03.461338 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000400000000 (17 179 869 184, 16 384 MB, 16.0 GB)
2.
00:00:03.461530 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000001000000 (16 777 216, 16 MB)

Re: Post-install Reboot of OL8 kernel panic - kill init!
Thanks for trying to figure out that log.
I didn't see anything that stuck out as a problem, but I've never looked at those logs before. Never had to!
I opened Ticket 21279 on this problem.
Cheers,
MD

As a shot in the dark, please execute the following commands in a Windows Command Prompt and see if the issue persists:
Code: Select all
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
VBoxManage modifyvm "Linux 12c 19cDB WCC" --spec-ctrl on

Re: Post-install Reboot of OL8 kernel panic - kill init!
Opening tickets before a bug has been established in forum discussion will not earn you any Brownie points. In particular I see no response to "multiOS" suggestions above, which are not really suggestions, they point out serious errors in the VM config.EMPOracleLinux wrote: I opened Ticket 21279 on this problem.
