Hi all,
After importing the .ova into VirtualBox, I tried to boot it up, but I keep getting the message
VT-X is disabled in the BIOS. (VERR_VMX_MSR_VMXON_DISABLED).
Details
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
This seems really odd to me since I have no issue at all with running other 32-bit Debian based systems in VBox (Tails, Ubuntu and Debian itself run perfectly fine). I’ve used Whonix before on different hardware and I never ran into this issue…
My machine is 32-bit with an Intel processor. Once by mistake I downloaded a 64-bit version of some distro, and upon booting in VBox I got the same message, which was obviously due to incompatibility. It seems like that shouldn’t be the case here though…
I checked my BIOS and there doesn’t even seem to be any options about VT-X
Can anybody advise?
Thanks
