Re: virtual box showing cannot create session while trying to boot a centos vm created.
Perhaps it's the mismatched extension pack.
I don't think RHEL (64bit) can be entirely happy with just 1GB RAM and 1 CPU core either. I would increase to 8GB and 2 cores. And 16MB graphics RAM isn't really good for much: increase to 128MB.00:00:03.121002 VirtualBox VM 6.1.36 r152435 linux.amd64 (Jul 21 2022 10:08:57) release log

Thanks mpack . It was related with the old version of extension pack. I have upgraded Extension Pack to the latest version and also increased RAM, CPU core and other settings..
