NS8 on Rocky on VirtualBox virtualization error

Hi @mrmarkuz

I think my machine is too old for Rocky-9.2.

The BIOS display: 2012-08-20 version 1201.

The CPU is: AMD Phenom ™ II X4 965 Processor
Speed: 3400MHz

I thought that with such a speed, it was quite recent.

A BIOS update could help.

Hi @mrmarkuz

I looked at ASUS motherboard model (M5A 78L-M // LX PLUS) and it says : “Look for another board”

But I found this:

Hi @mrmarkuz

I have a new HP-Z400 Intel Xeon with CPU W3520.

I installed my old HDs and I have the same Kernel Panic with Rocky-9.2 under VirtualBox after creating a new virtual machine…

I can boot the PC with the DVD Rocky-9.2 and it wants to install without problem.

Now I suspect VirtualBox.

I will install the Ubuntu 22.04 full desktop.

How did you install VirtualBox-7 ?

Hi @mrmarkuz

I created a USB bootable (Ubuntu-22.04.02 LTS / ISO) from Rufus: rufus-4.0p.exe from: Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way
With Rufus I choose DD mode.

I booted from the USB and I installed Ubuntu-22.04.02 LTS full desktop, updated & all.

Install VirtualBox-7 from: How to Install VirtualBox 7 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Created a VirualBox virtual machine for Rocky-9.2 and install with minimum ISO.

Total Victory, all is working.

So, the VirtualBox-6.1.38 is not good if taken from Ubuntu’s applications.
