VM goes Guru meditation after I installed debian 12

Post by Illuel »

Hi, any help is appreciated :D

I created a VM and after installing Debian, my VM goes guru meditation state. I tried reducing and increasing the RAM but it didn´t work, tried making another machine but after installation, it also went guru meditation state.

please feel free to ask any questions, thanks

Virtualbox version 7.0.12

Thanks for the info. Here's the guru meditation:

00:00:15.866467 !! VCPU0: Guru Meditation 1155 (VINF_EM_TRIPLE_FAULT)
A triple fault is when something happened that was so screwed up that Virtualbox threw up its hands and said "Here, you handle this, I'm going home."

The VM "hardware started reading from the VM's hard disk, and:
00:05:08.489259 /IEM/CPU0/cInstructions 8835723 count
00:05:08.490020 /Public/Storage/AHCI0/Port0/BytesRead 1024 bytes
did a lot of crunching a great deal on 1k bytes from the disk, if I read correctly.

Looks like something in the VM got really bungeed. If the VM is important, try booting it with the Debian installer ISO and try a repair install. Otherwise try a new VM and see what happens.

FWIW Hyper-V is enabled on the host OS. However, that's not getting in the way as much as it used to, and Hyper-V is very integrated into the host OS now. You could try turning it off, but you'd be disabling a lot of supposed security structures. It's up to you whether you need them. HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)
