I got an error while starting a virtual maching in latest VBox.
Check the image below




I got the same error by doing the same as ROOT, check the image below(titlebar has "ROOT:" text)

Close VB

RUN IN A TERMINAL

Code: Select all

modprobe -r kvm_intel   

RESTART

I exec the command "modprobe -r kvm_intel" and restarted but got the same error.
Then i tried executing the command and without restarting i used my VBox and it works fine. But after restart its not working. I've to execute the command for every bootup to use VBox.

Then i googled and found another workaround

I added "blacklist kvm_intel" to the file "etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" and after restart VBox is working fine...

Its been over an year...I figure someone would have fixed that bug by now.

I too installed latest version VBox3.1.8 and unless i modify "etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" file VBox doesn't work after restart.
