Guru Meditation Error while booting up yosemite iso

Post by vjustov »

I am running on a Macbook Pro with Mojave 10.14.6. Virtualbox version 6.0.18 r136238.
On this machine i am trying to run a Yosemite VM. The VM gives a Guru Meditation Error right after printing the Device UUID, I have tried navigating the logs but nothing comes to my attention from before

Code: Select all

00:00:05.435593 Console: Machine state changed to 'GuruMeditation'
except the part that says:

Code: Select all

ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_VM_ERROR (0x80bb0003) aIID={ab4164db-c13e-4dab-842d-61ee3f0c1e87} aComponent={DisplayWrap} aText={Could not take a screenshot (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)}, preserve=false aResultDetail=-37
but I read in another thread that this error is not important.

My initial hunch is that the ISO is wrong.
How can i my yosemite image is correct? (its one of those fresh installers that apple reuploaded earlier this year, and the structure changed a bit)

It may be possible to workaround the guru-meditation by specifying a different cpu-profile

e.g.
VBoxManage modifyvm "<VM name>" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7-6700K"
