I have been using VirtualBox for a long time on the work laptop.
This is a 32bit Win7 machine with VT-x/AMD-V turned off.
This has worked very well until recently.
After some Ubuntu update a month ago or so, it all stopped working. The kernel panics on boot always.
I thought perhaps it was some update problem, but I have tried reinstall with Ubuntu, Debian and Centos.
It all fails, but if I go a generation back it works.
So for Centos for example:
CentOS-7-i386-Minimal-1804.iso gives kernel panic on boot.
CentOS-7-i386-Minimal-1708.iso boots and installs just fine.
- However if I update 1708 after installation, it crashes just as the 1804 installer.
The VM has 1GB, I have tried to add more memory, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
Does anybody have an clue as to why this happens?
Thank you.
