Freeze on Kali log, due to Docker? (hyper-V disabled)

Post by typiac »

Hi,

- I've last version of virtual box (6.1.18)
- last version of extension pack (6.1.18)
- downloaded the OffSec VM from kali linux (offensive-security)

Everything is ok during the install:
- take 8Go of ram
- 150Go for the hard drive
- 3D accelerate activated etc...

That's freeze when the logo appears. So I've checked the forum and try to desactivate the hyper-v never activated just in case with the following command:
Uninstall everything:

Code: Select all

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Code: Select all

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
To check:

Code: Select all

sfc /scannow
and finally:
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All
Restart, re-install....same result

I put my logs in attached file but I don't understand what's the problem. Could it be a conflict with docker?

Yup. Docker requires Hyper-V.

The posted log is the hardening log, which does not tell whether Hyper-V is enabled. You don't have hardening problems BTW, exit code is 0, which is good.

Please right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log.

Search the far left tab's log for this text:

Attempting fall back to NEM

If you find it, Hyper-V is enabled. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

If you don't find that text, save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Thanks a lot for your help, I appreciate it!

Unfortunately, I didn't find exactely this message but I found this:

Code: Select all

HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: AMD-V is not available

Code: Select all

NEM: Disable Hyper-V if you need X2APIC for your guests!
I put the log file in attached file. Thanks again for your help :)

Looks like a match to me... Follow the tutorial to kill off Hyper-V. Docker might need an uninstall too.
