Critical Error booting a VDI with ubuntu variant

Post by ppl »

Is anyone familiar with the message:
A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped.
For help, please see the Community section on
I installed an ubuntu variant onto a virtual drive and was busy for the last week and when I tried booting it up today I get the above message. I have attached the log file.

Someone mentioned in another post about checking if drive virtualization was enabled in the bios and it is enabled.

Any help would be great.
Thanks

I had to zip the log file because it said there is a max size of 128K

You have the following in your log:
00:00:04.057554 !! Guru Meditation 1155 (VINF_EM_TRIPLE_FAULT)
For Guru Meditation errors, you should head to the bugtracker and either search for an appropriate bug where you'll attach your logs and other vital information, or open a new bug report.
