VERR_CFGM_NODE_EXISTS

Post by jerdill »

I tried running a command to mimic an older processor by running this:
VBoxManage modifyvm <NameOfVM> --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff

But after running that command on my VM the VM won't start. It spits out the error VERR_CFGM_NODE_EXISTS

I tried to look up that error but only found something related to having both SAS and SATA drives configured. This is a pretty plain VM and only has one standard Hard Disk Configured.

Any ideas what would cause the VM to not start and a way I can get it working again?

Compress and attach here the configuration file of the VM (.vbox).

You should read the following as well since the cpuid is only associated with OSx AFAIK..
Mac OS as guest important information

I thought you would have figured this out by now since your other topic got locked. Please don't do it again.
