VirtualBox Issues

Post by Arul_8742 »

Hello Team,

Since I have a very old laptop, Im using the Virtualbox 6.0.24

I'm facing 2 issues

1) I'm trying to install Centos 7 through ISO when I try to give the option 'insall from this media' after it hangs nothing happens after that, I tried wait for an hour(the same ISO works on my friends system)
2) Somehow 1 ISO helped me to install the CentOS, I used bridged+nat network but still it does not connect the outside world


Thanks
Arul

Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

See this web page Installation Guide - System Requirements for CentOS.
your log wrote: 00:00:04.138798 Host RAM: 1611MB total, 765MB available <-- not enough.
...
00:00:04.678907 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000001000000 (16 777 216, 16 MB) <-- not enough should be 64MB or more.
On that same web page I don't see a differentiation between 32bit and 64bit installs. Apparantly 32bit support is only available as an "AltArch release".

I think you can forget about running VMs on a PC with this spec.
