I upgraded to VirtualBox 7.0.6 on my Mac development machine.
I tried to boot an existing CentOS guest, which we have configured using the Host-only Adapter. I was informed that that is now deprecated, and a Host-only Network connection was created for me.
Whenever I try booting with it, however, it fails. I can boot with Internal Network, but not Host-only Network. I've followed a bunch of instructions I've found online for fixing this (clearing various system settings, uninstalling/reinstalling VirtualBox, updating Guest Additions, etc), but it continues not to work. Anyone know a way around this? Here's the error:
Error: vmnet_start_interface returned 1001 (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER).
Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}
Using Host-only Network in VirtualBox 7.0.6 fails every time
Re: Using Host-only Network in VirtualBox 7.0.6 fails every time
It looks like this was caused by VirtualBox's upgrade path being broken.
The created Virtual Network had parameters that didn't match those expected by the VM or somewhere else along the line.
When I deleted the Virtual Network that VirtualBox created upon upgrade, and recreated it, it worked.
Looks like someone should change the upgrade path in the installer.
