virtual box hanging on start

Post by jav0 »

hi,

I recently installed virtual box on a Windows host. I have tried running parrot os and kail Linux neither worked.
when trying to boot parrot I can't touch the arrow keys or it hangs if I just press enter the - symbol flashes
on kail Linux, it does the same thing but if you press enter it says clear CPU buffers attempted no microcode
kail boot
kail boot

First of all, you shouldn't be bundling two issues in a single post, we like to observe the "One issue, one thread" rule. Second, you should ZIP your logs. It helps you, it helps us, it helps the server, it helps save a (virtual) tree or two... ;)

[quote=""KALI""]
00:00:03.976824 Host RAM: 7871MB (7.6GB) total, 1203MB available
00:00:04.112324   RamSize           <integer> = 0x0000000020000000 (536 870 912, 512 MB)
[/quote]That seems way too low for a Kali VM. On the other hand, you don't have too much available RAM on your host. Either close some applications on the host, or buy more RAM for the host.
00:00:04.112760 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: VT-x is not available
00:00:04.131967 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...
It seems that you have a Hyper-V component enabled. You can tell if this is true from the status bar where the "slow" icon (Image) shows. Look at the topic "I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests" for some Hyper-V enablers that we're aware of so far.

If VirtualBox is running without Hyper-V enabled, where proper, hardware virtualization is actually available, then the standard virtualization icon (Image) would show.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
