Unknown error creating VM (VERR_GENERAL_FAILURE)

[mikedholt]

I have been running VirtualBox for 3 months with no problem.... Host: OS X 10.6.2, VBox running Windows 7

Just restarted my host machine, and tried to open Windows 7 virtual machine and it fails instantly with:

Code: Select all

Unknown error creating VM (VERR_GENERAL_FAILURE)

Details:

Code: Select all

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {***}

The log doesn't provide anything too helpful to my eyes:

Code: Select all

00:00:00.864 Power up failed (vrc=VERR_GENERAL_FAILURE, rc=NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005))

Any thoughts on what the heck can be done to load the virtual machine?

Solved.... Did not like the network adaptor (bridged). Disabled and all is fine.
