[Solved] Kernel Panic on RedHat Guest VM

[mj231c]

My development team has created a VM for our environment. I have imported it into VirtualBox but I get a kernel panic when I start it. I have created my own VM from an ISO and it runs fine so I know I can run VMs. (No BIOS issues etc.)

I have looked through the log but cannot see anything that looks like it would cause the problem. Any ideas? I read something about Guest VM that is created on another machine might have the wrong drivers?

I have looked through the log

We would need to as well. Zip and post it with the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

I have attached the logs.

As an added note. I downloaded the RedHat 7.7 ISO and tried to create another VM from the ISO. I get the menu to select Install or check image and install or Troubleshoot. This image kernel panics as soon as I pick any of the optios as well.

Another added note, I downloaded the RedHat 8.1 ISO and it is working.

The common link here seems to be RedHat 7.7.

I don't see an ISO here, all I see is a VM that's being restored at the 1.8" mark, and after 9" it gets shutdown...

00:00:09.576434 GUI: Request for close-action to power VM off.

Moving to "Linux Guests" from "Windows Hosts". It's worth taking a "walk" through that area of the forums to see if there's anything related...

Please take a look at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=94390#p455778 for a possible solution.

This worked. The VM will run now as will all of the RedHat 7 ISOs for bare install. It does give a bunch of errors about my I7 9th gen process not being supported but it pushes through and loads.

Thank you for your help. I never would have found this.

Damn it... I always keep forgetting this one, there's an fundamental dislike for MSRs I guess...

Glad 'fth0' was here to help you 'mj231c', marking as [Solved].
