Kali Installation help

[Actually08]

I have an acer r7 572. I have downloaded the Kali Linux 64 bit and I have also downloaded virtual box. I went throught the virtual box and entered the name of the thing, then I entered linux as the type and then linux 2.6 as the version.
and then i did 1024 mb of storage and then I did the virtual hard drive and did VDI and then i did dynamicly allocated and finally i did 8 gb. when I clicked start it booted up to the window that says kali linux and I went down and it install, then it said this kernel requires an x86-64 cpu, but only detected an i686 cpu-unable to boot. please use a kernel appropiate for your cpu. How do I change the kernel?

Have you enabled virturalization on your bios?

Have you installed all the headers? apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r)

I agree with lillypad. To use 64-bit system in a VM, you need to have virtualization enabled if bios is capable of. Otherwise, you will have to install the 32bit version.

Please refer to Oracle virtual machine docs.

Luck.
