Debian ARM64 fails on M1 - VERR_HGCM_SERVICE_NOT_FOUND

VirtualBox 7.1.0 beta2
Debian ARM64 VM - previously working on 7.1.0-beta

The VM crashes almost instantly under beta 2.

My Debian 12.5 VM seems to be working fine on Beta 2 (on an M1 Max) but our logs don't seem remotely similar, so I'm struggling with the 'interpretation' of what's happening. They both seem to be very different to the 'old x86 style' output I thought I was beginning to get used to.

I can provide a copy of a log from my working Debian 12.5 VM if it's of any interest for comparison.

Seeing a working log would be helpful thanks.

I am running under the most recent Sequoia Beta, so this may be another cause of failure.

I also tried running an x86 Debian VM (with the 'global' flag set), and that worked perfectly.

Just now I tried uninstalling VBox Beta 2 and reinstalling. That made no difference.

Sound's as if you are having endless fun!

Hope the attached provides some clues, or is at least educational.

Thank you for posting your Log. I rebooted the M1 in Sonoma, installed VBox Beta 2 and now the arm64 VM runs perfectly.

Looks like the error I saw is something to do with the new access permissions or changes to the hypervisor introduced in Sequoia. Here's hoping Oracle are seeing the same issue

Thanks, that's something to keep an eye open for. Apple seems to be behaving more and more like Microsoft when it comes to version updates, especially around the implementation of 'system security' changes.

Did you try deleting the .nvram file in the VM's folder? Then try starting the VM again.

I renamed the x.nvram file to x.nvram.save and the VM still fails on startup with the same error.

Thanks for noticing, this is indeed caused by running the Sequioa Beta. Will be fixed in the next update.

Thats great. Glad to know its not something else in my setup.

Pleased to note that this problem is fixed in Test Build VirtualBox-7.1.0_BETA2-164697-macOSArm64 on Sequoia Beta RC
