kernel panic - not syncing fatal exception.

Post by espii »

Hi,

Error: kernel panic - not syncing fatal exception on startup/reboot.
Error happening after completing OLE instation and while rebooting linux server.

Environment:
64-bit Windows 8 laptop.
OLE version: 5.8.
OLE VM template: V31120 ISO file.
VirtualBox version: 4.2.10


Initally when I first bigin OLE installation I got an error as "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. You 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot. "

In response to the above error I have modified the BIOS on my host system to enable "Virtualization technology". Then it enabled me to complete OLE instation. But after completion of the 1. OLE install, 2. Guestadditions and 3. yum update, the linux server reboot is failing with the following error: "kernel panic - not syncing fatal exception". I am stuck here for my peoplesoft installtion.

Note:
1. I have removed guestaddtions from the controller CDE when rebooting was keep failing.
2. Surprisingly once in a while linux server bootsup but as "guestadditions" was removed I am unable to use mouse and hence I am stuck there.

Despite above, primary issue is reboot/start failing.

Besides "kernel panic - not syncing fatal exception" resolution please help me how to add "guestadditoions" back on to Controller CDE from the backup.

appreciate your help.


Thanks espii.

Issue resolved:

Go to your virtual machine -> Settings -> System
Then change Chipset from PIIX3 to ICH9 and enable "Enable IO APIC"
After that, your virtual machine will boot without any issue.


Thanks

I'M facing the same issue (Kernal Panice-Not Syncing: Attempted to kill init!)
But this is only when I have started setting a shared storage between two VM Machines.(If I'M removing it it's working, actually here I'M setting the shared storage to practice ASM under RAC Environment).
Could you please help me...!!

Thanks

Everyone here is a "me too", but no one bothered to read the "Minimum information needed for assistance". Specifically for the VM log file ("VBox.log.zip"), here's what you do:
  1. Start the VM. Not from a saved or paused state. Clean start.
  2. Take the steps required to generate/observe the error. Record the error message. EXACTLY. Post a screenshot if you have to.
  3. Shut down the VM (if it hasn't aborted by itself). Not saved or paused. Completely shut down. If you can't shut it down by normal means, close the VM window and select "Power off".
  4. Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show Log..."
  5. Save it (only the first VBox.log), ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt.

Originally: Puppy Linux "slacko-6.3.0-32bit" on VirtualBox 5.1.28
Currently: Puppy Linux "slacko-6.3.1-32bit" on VirtualBox 5.2.18

I'd been saving the state for a very long time, and it was working. When I finally shut it down and tried to reboot, it failed.

Updated Virtualbox to 5.2.1 - still failing.
Created a new machine and updated PuppyLinux from 6.3.0 to 6.3.1 - still failing
Tried to change chipset as described above - still failing

Anyone know what do I need to do to make it work?

EDIT: works fine with older Debian (8.3.0 32bit i386) that I had hanging around. It's just Puppy Linux that it's having issues with.

I am suspicious of the user of "Linux Other" as the OS version. Yes, I found advice online dating from 2012 to do this, but now is not 2012, and VirtualBox 5.2.18 does not necessarily behave the same way. Unfortunately there doesn't see to be a SlackWare template, and it seems to be a rather unique distro.
