Failure on installing guest OS - Kali and ParrotOS

Hello,
I've encountered some problems when installing either Kali or ParrotOS following any of the installers (GTK GUI, standard...) and with different partitions (standard and LVM) and it always fails while installing the system, you can look at it in the attached images:

Now, I am also using Docker and I am aware there were some issues with that but tried the same procedures using Vmware and both OS are installing correctly.

I am using Windows 10 and Virtualbox Version 6.1.12 r139181 (Qt5.6.2).
Virtualization is enabled on BIOS as well as Vt-d.

Please right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log.

Search the far left tab's log for this text:

Attempting fall back to NEM

If you find it, Hyper-V is enabled and needs to be disabled. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active). (Docker might enable Hyper-V.)

If you don't find that text, save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Hi,
I'm attaching the log just for feedback but yeah, there is that line indicating that Hper-V is enabled.
But I knew this from the start.

I thought that the latest version of Windows 10 and Virtualbox 6.0 made it comptaible to run Vbox with Hyper-V enabled. It is even written on the docs.

Am I missing something?

Virtualbox on top of Hyper-V is a work in progress, and is more work than progress yet. The devs are working on it and a few setups might work. See the saga VirtualBox 6.0 and Hyper-V

Thank you so much for the reply.

And surely it's just a matter of time before a compatibility patch will be issued.
