I am having this weird issue that I cannot install any version of Manjaro over 20.0 in virtual box. I have tried 20.1 and 20.1.2. If I try to install these versions, it crashes VirtualBox right after the Manjaro boot screen. Also, if I tried to upgrade 20.0 to any newer version as soon as the upgrade is done it starts crashing on boot in the VirtualBox software.

I am attaching the log file from boot. I should point out this happens with any Distro of Arch Linux above 20.0. I can install other Dstros of Linux that are not based on Arch fine, but I do much prefer Manjaro to anything else. I have tried VirtualBox Version 6.1.4 up to the current.

My System:
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X at stock
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws V 48GB
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 5600 XT
Storage: WD Black SN750 1TB SSD 3D V-NAND PCIe NVMe Gen 3
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit



Thank you in advance for any help.

Please right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Looks like the usual problem:

00:00:02.119000 ********************* End of CFGM dump **********************
00:00:02.119040 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: AMD-V is not available
00:00:02.145931 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...

means Hyper-V is active and is preventing access to AMD-V. VirtualBox is attempting to use Hyper-V instead and is not in a happy place.

Thank you for the help that did the trick. Really appreciate it!

Great, glad it's working. My Manjaro VM just updated to 20.2
