Guru Meditation Error

Post by JJ123 »

Hi,
I'm getting this error when I try to set up a Coludera VM.
I've checked this forum also stack overflow and the most obvious reason is because of allocating more RAM.
Even after lowering it 2048mb the issue persists.
Attaching logs and ss.

Kindly help I'm new to this.
Thank You.

The little guru meditated on VERR_NEM_IPE_3, which is an uncommon error but is creeping up a bit more lately.

Host Hyper-V is enabled. You have two options:

1. Try the 6.1.35 test build. Save the test build installer until you update again later. You'll need it if your host's MSI installation database goes south (they do) and the installer will not be available for download after the next even-number version gets released.

2. Turn off Hyper-V. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

Also:
00:00:02.127339 Host RAM: 7528MB (7.3GB) total, 2349MB (2.2GB) available
00:00:02.253581 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000100000000 (4 294 967 296, 4 096 MB, 4.0 GB)
Too much RAM on this run. Though it probably didn't interfere this time, due to how Virtualbox allocates RAM, it would have interfered eventually. Try to start the VM right after starting the host. 2GB RAM may be a better starting place for this host.

The guru meditates for many reasons, most of which are not related to too-low RAM. Searching the log for the line containing the words 'guru meditation':
00:00:13.241750 Console: Machine state changed to 'GuruMeditation'
00:00:13.241926 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
00:00:13.241927 !!
00:00:13.241927 !! VCPU0: Guru Meditation -6893 (VERR_NEM_IPE_3)
then web-searching the CAPITALIZED_UNDERSCORE_SPACED_WORDS may give more directed advice.
