Crash on Mac M1

Post by AkaDannnn »

I downloaded VirtualBox on Mac on Apple Silicon architecture. I created and configured a virtual machine with Windows 10. I launch the virtual machine to install the OS - the Windows 10 logo appears and then VirtualBox gives a critical error. The error prompts me to go here. Here is the log:

Please see M1/M2 Mac 7.0 Beta Status.
XP is the latest Windows OS reported working on the M1/M2 beta. More modern Windows won't run yet. Similar limits in Linux.

Thanks for the answer. I tried to run Windows XP in a virtual machine, but when the Windows logo appears, the virtual machine just closes, and in VirtualBox it says that the virtual machine was interrupted. I used this virtual machine on a previous Mac, but after exporting to an ova file and importing it on a new Mac, it doesn't work. I removed the guest additions from the VM, but that didn't help :-( If needed, I can send the logs from the VM

You do realize that even if you get it "running", it's still going to be unusably slow, right? It's doing CPU simulation after all, which is a 1000 times slower than having the correct processor to start with.

Anyway, in addition to being the wrong guest OS, your previous log shows too much RAM being allocated: you can't afford more than 1024MB. And don't allocate more than one CPU core.

And note that the ARM build is a developer preview: not intended for general users and completely unsupported.
