Error (VERR_VMM_SMAP_BUT_AC_CLEAR)

Post by xuanmaispring »

Trying to put Windows 10 on my Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 using VirtualBox version 5.0.2 r102096 and hitting the above error message. The only thread I can find on the forum says that VirtualBox version 5.0.1 was crashing, no solution. Is there anything I can do in this version of VirtualBox to get Windows 10 running?

All this for one little Windows app that I need for work. Hope you can help me.

There seems to be a problem with VB 5.0.2 and certain models of Macs. All you can do right now is rollback to the VB 5.0.0 version if you don't need USB 3 support.

I can confirm that the problem exists on a MacBook Pro Retina 2015 / 13" with Yosemite/latest updates.
