"end kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill init"

[r00t]

Hello!

Sorry to be a pest, but I've looked around and can't seem to find a solution to my particular issue, you see I keep getting this error message whenever I try launch KALI Linux on my linux VM. I have no clue whatsoever as to what is causing it and have been troubleshooting all afternoon

Did you install Kali yourself?
I see that the hard drive attached is called "Kali-linux-2016.1-vbox-i686-disk1.vmdk". It looks suspiciously like a pre-built image from somewhere else. If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to talk to the people that packaged this VM.

Oh, and you can always search for "end kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill init". There are plenty of ideas from a quick search that I did, but Linux is not my forte.

Yes, itself a virtual machine has been previously download and install from the site KALI-LINUX through torrent file. I will look for more ideas as suggest in his opinion, however, I will hope someone can help. Thx!

Did you download it from this page? https://www.offensive-security.com/kali ... -download/

Yes, I download this is VirtualBox image:

Kali Linux 32 bit VBox PAE Torrent | 3.0G | 2016.1 | 987f2c04a4d595b1716ecfe61ce4074d1adac303

I downloaded it, I tried it and it worked right out of the box. I see that you made some modifications to the original configuration. From the logs:

00:00:02.923801 Host RAM: 3069MB total, 1562MB available
00:00:05.245145   RamSize           <integer> = 0x0000000058000000 (1 476 395 008, 1 408 MB)
00:00:05.245831   VRamSize         <integer> = 0x0000000008000000 (134 217 728, 128 MB)

You're really close to your host's limits. You might want to lower your guests RAM, or close other applications on your host, or buy some more RAM for your host.

But I believe that the real problem is here:

00:00:05.246188 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is not available

You've got to enable VT-x in your BIOS.

My machine is not support VT-x and I dont have a enable VT-x...

Yes, you're right (http://ark.intel.com/products/40479/Int ... 00-MHz-FSB)

If I remember correctly there was another download that didn't have the "PAE" flag in the Kali downloads. If that doesn't work, you need a more powerful computer.
