Hi,
I'm running VB 6.0.4 on a Win 7 PC. When I want to start my Debian VM it goes straight to Guru Meditation. Please help! Attached are the log files
Thanks

Re: Debian VM stuck in Guru Meditation
You need to enable VT-x in the motherboard / PC / laptop BIOS. Your Intel Xeon W3530 CPU supports it. See your PC's manufacturer help on how to do this. Also, make sure that nothing else has an exclusive hold on the VT-x.VBox.log wrote:00:00:01.508514 WARNING! 64-bit guest type selected but the host CPU does NOT support HW virtualization. 00:00:01.637712 CPUM: No hardware-virtualization capability detected
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve with this guest but 64MB RAM for a modern Linux installation isn't going to fly. With the RAM you have available you should set this to 1GB or 2GB.VBox.log wrote:00:00:01.635786 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000004000000 (67 108 864, 64 MB)
Again, this is very low particularly if you are running a UI. Set this to the max value.VBox.log wrote:00:00:01.636125 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000000c00000 (12 582 912, 12 MB)

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
