 Posted: Wed May 22, 2024 10:02 am Post subject: Unable to boot as VirtualBox guest |
 |
|
I've freshly installed Gentoo with systemd, following all instructions of the handbook and systemd / vmware / virtualbox wiki pages. The system boots successfully as a VMware Player guest, but I am unable to boot as a VirtualBox guest. I tried both with manual kernel configuration, and with the binary distribution kernel, which I thought would have been a safe bet.
Neither one boots under VirtualBox, the system freezes with blinking Caps Lock key and following message:
| Code: | | Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exit code=0x00007f00 |
I tried with the Gentoo Minimal Installation CD, and it boots correctly both under VMware Player and VirtualBox.
After several unsuccessful attempts, I hope that someone can help me out here... |

gentoo works fine as a qemu/libvirt guest with openSUSE host starting with a desktop profile.
not much help solving problems but might be an easy alternative.

lucatrv,
Explain your VBox settings.
Is VBox setting up the guest space of EFI or BIOS.
Where is the emulated guest HDD attached?
SCSI is probably the wrong choice as that needs the Fusion drivers which are not built by default.
AHCI should work.
Any other settings that affect the guest environment
| Code: | | Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! |
usually means that the init script ran of the end, so process ID 1 terminated.
That's not allowed as its in change of userspace.

I'm using BIOS, HDD was attached through virtio-scsi, now I changed it to AHCI but I'm getting the same issue, therefore I'm trying to move to QEMU... |

If you are running Virtualbox on Windows, try disabling Hyper-V in Windows features, following is the tutorial on Virtualbox forums.
Leaving Hyper-V enabled may also cause the kernel panic inside Gentoo guest.

I also tried that, at first Hyper-V was not enabled, then I tried to enable and disable it, the issue is still present. |

You may also want to boot with kernel option init=/bin/bash for debugging, then see what is the output of | Code: | | ls -l /usr/sbin/init |
It should be a symlink to systemd executable. |
