VirtualBox cannot boot Windows 7 in Arch

Post by sertf »

Hi,

My Environment:
CPU:i5 12500H
Kernel:5.18.14-arch1-1
VBox: 6.1.36
ibt=off

After testing, when ibt=off is not set, VBox can't start any VM, after setting it, it can start Linux, but not Windows7


Thx.

I'm no Linux guru, but could you please explain what 'ibt' means to those who might help? The Virtualbox manual contains no reference to 'ibt'.

Hi,scottgus1

ibt means Indirect Branch Tracking, which is part of Intel's CET.
