[Solved] none linux's distro works on my pc

Post by minimanimo »

Hi everybody,
I have virtualbox on Windows 8.1 system,with asrock H91 G43 and intel i5-4440 and R9 280X.
I've enabled in the bios the intel virtualization technology etc..
On my virtual machine i'm able to virtualize windows xp but not linux.
I've tried with Linux Ubuntu (14.10), but when it boot,it freeze in black screen.
Linux Mint 17,booted normaly,compatibily mode,PAE forced. All have the same result. It doesn't work!
In each VM is enabled the "PAE/NX" in CPU and " 3D accelleration".
How can i solve?
All distros of linux are 32 bit. I've tried Linux Mint 17.2 cinnamon,Mate version,Kali Linux ,Ubuntu 14.10,Xubuntu 14.04.2.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you!

This can be an issue. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your host GPU.

Code: Select all

00:00:02.601138 HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is not available.
According to Intel http://ark.intel.com/products/75038/Int ... o-3_30-GHz your processor has the capability to use VT-x, so either it is disabled in your bios or something else is using it exclusively. I would fix this and then try again

Hi,thank you.
I've the latest driver of my GPU.
VT-x is enabled in my bios.
How can I know if it is used exclusively by some process?

Some suggestions are here. It is the same reason why you can not install 64-bit guests.
FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.

1,2,3 step Ok!
4 step is not ok. I don't have 64 bit choise,only 32 bit for linux
I do not know if it matters but I have Avast antivirus and "enable hardware-assisted virtualization" is enabled.

I tried to attach a screenshot but is too big. I can't insert link to image in the IMG tag.

Not much I can tell you on this end. You need to disable things on the host until you find what it holding VT-x and not playing nicely with others.
Some anti-virus programs do in fact do exactly this.

I've disabled Avast antivirus and runned linux-mint,but doesn't work.

I'm not undestand,if is correct what you say,also windows xp should not work,but it WORK!!

How can I know if VT-x is used exclusively by some process? Random?
How can I enable 64 bit linux in "Version"?

XP does not need VT-x ( 32-bit and not kernel heavy ) so put the out of your mind. Focus on finding what is using VT-x.

The only place to disable host services is msconfig

I doubt that. Given that your host is Windows 8.1 I'd say that you almost certainly have the Hyper-v service enabled, so you are failing item 3 in the checklist.

Ok,I solved.
I have tried VMware Workstation. After the boot,i've this message: "VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running VMware Workstation."
So,the solution is here:
This is because the Hyper-V role is installed and this conflicts with VMware Workstation. To disable Hyper-V from starting the following command can be used:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

A reboot of of the Windows OS is necessary.

To enable the Hyper-V role again use the following command:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

A reboot of of the Windows OS is necessary.
Now,it works.
Works also with VirtualBox.
Thanks
