Guru Meditation Critical Error

Post by heySue »

Hi guys,

I've been trying to start my VM on GNS3 using VirtualBox, but I always get the Guru Meditation critical error when initializing.
I looked all over the internet and i cannot figure out why this is happening and other suggestions for fixes to this problem did not work for me.
I was hoping someone here could help me.
The log file has been attached to help better indicate the problem.

Thank you!! :D

It looks like you are trying to run VirtualBox within a virtualised environment already created by VMware. This kind of nested virtualisation is unlikely to work. VirtualBox likes to have access to the VT-x capabilities of the host hardware, even for 32bit operating systems.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
