Big Sur 11.6.1 + all ports and kext working – Cannot install Windows

Post by imalvarolou »

Hello,

I cannot install any Windows because I always get stuck at second boot.

I'm using MAC OS X 11.6.1; all MacPorts dependencies installed successfully VirtualBox Version 6.1.30 r148432
All kext loaded. All I gave virtual box full access to disk; input monitoring and accessibility.

Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

As far as I am aware, there are NO dependencies from MacPorts to successfully install and run VirtualBox. If you wish to build VirtualBox from source then there are, but certainly not for runnning the official Oracle releases.

This log showed a 27-second-long run without any problems in the VM hardware.

I only saw one boot in the log.

Try again, this time showing the full sequence. Also, post the screenshot like you did the log.

After the first start, it crashes even before windows install prompts show up. I got success on some occasions to go forward, but after the Windows installation process copy all files, etc, and it request a restart to complete the installation, and then Virtualbox crashes and I couldn't complete that.
In some start ups I got a screen crash. I dont know how to fix that. I already try to change the hyper-v no none, or minimal, and VboxVGA to VboxSVGA without success on that.

btw the .log attached

This means, Resize & crop the screenshot as needed to get under the forum's 128kB file size limit, then post with Upload Attachment, like you did the log.

There are no indications of failures in the VM's 'hardware' in the log.

Note that if the 'crash' is a Windows OS crash that you'd see on a real computer, and the Virtualbox VM window stays open still displaying the Windows OS error, this means that Virtualbox is still working and the error is in the Windows OS. You should also web-search the error on Microsoft help channels.
