Windows10 guest aborts on regolith linux host

Post by TotallyOriginalUsername »

Hi,
I'm using regolith linux (16G RAM, 8 Cores, 64-bit) to host a Windows10 guest (8G RAM, 4 Cores, 64-bit) and this guest aborts a few seconds after starting.

Virtualbox version:

Code: Select all

00:00:07.555674 VirtualBox VM 6.1.26_Ubuntu r145957 linux.amd64 (Sep 24 2021 11:11:24) release log
00:00:07.557220 Installed Extension Packs:
00:00:07.557225   Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 6.1.26 r145957; VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP)
Guest additions have not been installed since the guest aborts before this is possible.

Logs:

Is there someone who can help me resolve this issue?
Thank you!

00:00:04.436849 VirtualBox VM 6.1.26_Ubuntu r145957 linux.amd64 (Sep 24 2021 11:11:24) release log
Ubuntu fork, not supported here.
00:00:04.437283 Host RAM: 15734MB (15.3GB) total, 7654MB (7.4GB) available
...
00:00:04.465005 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000200000000 (8 589 934 592, 8 192 MB, 8.0 GB)
You can't allocate more RAM than you have available. Reduce to 6144MB.
00:00:04.465003 NumCPUs <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)
While you're in there - a Windows 10 VM really wants two cores (not more).

I can't say much more because you provided me with cut down logs. In future please zip entire logs, then upload the zips. Do not grab logs while VirtualBox still has the files open for writing, i.e. while still running. Even if VirtualBox errors out it would still complete the logs: but if the error dialog is still visible then VirtualBox is still running.

Thank you for your response!
Reducing the memory fixed my problem. Nicely spotted.
I also reduced the allocated CPUs to 2 as you suggested.
