VirtualBox - Guru Meditation

[willbrown]

My VM has recently begun crashing (comes up with the termination screen with the pic of some sort of guru on it). It has happened before but recently it happened a few times in a row when I tried to open the terminal window. The screen suggested I come here and share my log file to see if anyone can help, I have no idea what part of the log is relevant so here is the last few lines...

00:02:22.424946 NAT: zone(nm:mbuf_cluster, used:0)
00:02:22.426011 NAT: zone(nm:mbuf_packet, used:0)

00:02:22.488673 Changing the VM state from 'DESTROYING' to 'TERMINATED'.

I'm at the stage where the VM will boot but I can't do anything with it as it just crashes.

Windows 8 is the host, Ubuntu is the guest...

I've attached the whole log file. It seems like I might have been allocating way too much RAM, does that sound feasible?

[noteirak]

I think you clicked wrong somewhere - there is no log file
The part you've pasted doesn't tell us anything btw.

It can't be too big *if* you compress it.

Code: Select all

Console: VM runtime error: fatal=true , errorID=PAEmode message="The guest is trying to switch to the PAE mode which is currently disabled by default in VirtualBox. PAE support can be enabled using the VM settings (System/Processor)"

I'm fairly certain that the on screen message also told you what to do to fix this. Enable PAE in the guest setting

Thanks Perryg!

In fact on the first error screen I was advised to collect the logs and leave by choosing OK.

Only when I followed your comment and continued with "Ignore" I found the second screen:

I m using windows 10 and virtual box 4.3.12.
The git bash is showing the following error below in the image when "vagrant up". The virtual box is running well when started manually.
Help me out with the solution .

[Perryg]

First the error mentioned says you need to enable PAE in the guest setup.
Next we don't support vagrant here so that does not help.
Finally Windows 10 is not fully supported yet. Some things work but others don't.
