Issues installing guest OSes (Linux + Windows 10)

Post by ngocphamm »

So I installed Virtualbox 6.1 (at the time was 6.1.2) on my new machine + macOS (at the time was Catalina 10.15.43). Then I tried to install Windows 10 with it but it failed with some different message almost every time, about cannot load some drivers. This is early in the process of loading up the Windows 10 installation process.

I thought it was some issues with the Windows 10 ISO so I gave up after a few times and didn't try again until recently when I tried Debian. Debian's installation interface (GUI) shows up and I'm able to go through it until the step of "Install the base system", and again there's almost a different message each time. Something like this.

Code: Select all

Debootstrap warning
Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot "/target" pkgk --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/achives/libc6_2.28-10_amd64.deb
Ctrl + Alt + F4 shows something like in the attached screenshot (I don't know why img tag with an imgur link didn't work).

So I thought there might be some issue with the Guest OS trying to access the filesystem but I can't think of a reason why. VirtualBox was installed without any errors, even though I can't remember if I allowed the kernel extension via System Preferences > Security the first time I tried to install it or not. I guess I did, because this is what I see now

Code: Select all

I have tried the following things with no luck.
1. Remove the guest Debian and Windows, and try to create new ones again
2. Remove and reinstall Virtualbox, including newer version (6.1.4), and older version (6.0.18).
3. Remove Virtualbox and restart the mac, then reinstall Virtualbox
4. Update macOS to latest version (2 days ago) 10.15.4
5. Reinstall Virtualbox using both normal dmg file download, and homebrew cask

I don't see any crash logs (the guest OS didn't crash, just cannot continue the installation process), so I don't know what else I can provide. If there's anything, please let me know and I will provide it.

Any help to get this sorted out would be really appreciated!

Thank you!
