VM Freeze

Post by JochenW »

Hi,

running a freshly installed AlmaLinux 8 (basically CentOS 8, so I'd expect that to be a fairly well tested operating system) on a Windows 10.0.19043 host with VirtualBox 6.1.34, and my VM freezes after the login to Gnome. Guest additions are not installed, because I don't get that far.

Is this a known problem? Any suggestions, what I could do. (Attaching log file.)

Thanks,

Jochen

Hyper-v is enabled, so it's very likely not frozen, just very slow.

See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

p.s. Your VM would be happier with 2 cores, and max out the graphics RAM.
