Post the VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click and "Show Log" in the GUI, save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip, and attach the zip here.

Your guru meditation is caused by the following:

VBox.log wrote:

00:00:02.430414 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is not available

Even with 32bit guests the later versions of VirtualBox make use of VT-x. Your host system has 2GB RAM and an Intel Celeron 430 CPU which has a single core and no VT-x.

Your hardware really isn't capable of running VirtualBox and a second operating system.

You can try the following.

With the guest fully shut down run the host Windows "Command Console" and issue the command:-

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" modifyvm "Kali Linux" --hwvirtex off

This may allow you to get beyond the immediate error, however as Andy has said, your PC is simply not capable of doing a good job running two operating systems at once. Virtualization is not like dual boot: the OS's do not run one at a time. The virtualization is a hardware simulation executing as code on the host. It is hard to run that simulation while still providing enough CPU for the guest OS, plus everything the host needs to do, all on one core.
