    Can't start Kali Linux in VirtualBox

    Hi,

    I am a beginner. It's the first time I've been using VirtualBox, and the first time I've been using Kali.
    I've tried to install Kali Linux in VirtualBox.
    I use Lubuntu 15.10 Wily.
    The laptop has: 2 G RAM( 1243 MB for Kali ), Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 / 2 GHz

    At the end of Installation, when Kali should start, has stopped

    Code:
    Loading, please wait...

    After, I tried for a few times the next ones: change "quite" with "nomodset" or to delete "quiet" at all, and to start it in "recovery mode".

    After few restarts of Kali, error in the console was:

    Code:
    "SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr"
    Sorry, I don't have the print screen

    Boot Kali Linux, press "space bar" and "e":

    1.
    Start Kali GNU/LInux without "quite" and with "nomodset" instead of "quite"
    Print screens:normal boot - both ways.zip error:

    Code:
    5.389876 clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xfffffffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x35ae055c082 max_idle_ns xxxxxx ns

    2.
    Go to Advanced options for Kali GNU/Linux Kali GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.3.0-kali1-686-pae without "quite" and with "nomodset" instead of "quite" Print screens:advanced options - both ways.zip error:


    for nomodset:
    Code:
    5.414774 hrtimer: interrupt took xxxxx ns
    without "quite"

    Code:
    4.881669 clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xfffffffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x35adfce max_idle_ns xxxxxx ns

    3.

    Advanced options - recovery mode - without "quite" replace quite with "nomodset"
    Print screens: recovery mode - both ways.zip error:

    Code:
    5.xxxx clocksource: tsc: mask: 0xfffffffffffffffffffff max_cycles: 0x35xxxxx max_idle_ns xxxxxx ns

    Turn off the option "Enable Nested Paging" in the VirtualBox configuration under Settings->System->Acceleration.

    if didnt work boot Live cd and


    1. Check module is being loaded
      lsmod | grep i2c_piix4
    2. If so, blacklist it in the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, by adding the following to the end of the file:
      blacklist i2c_piix4
    3. Update the initramfs
      sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

    1. I don't have the possibility to create a Live CD, tell me please, can I do something with a Live USB Stick?

    2. Excuse me please but I am not so advanced, I it could work with the Live USB,?

    3. I must create it from my main OS(Lubuntu) and it has to be a Live USB with Kali not with other Linux distro?

    4. After, boot my PC from it at all, and use all the next 3 commands that you said in the console of the Live Kali USB ?

    I've made a New Session(create a new OS) in Virtualbox:

    A. When I tried to create "Live (686-pae)" Print screen: Live (686-pae) .jpg
    B. When I try to create "Live USB Persistence" Print screen: Live USB Persistence.jpg


    Thank you.

    download an install VB on your computer
    then download image you want to install from this page:
    https://www.offensive-security.com/k...mage-download/
    check sh1sum when you finished your download
    extract those 7z file. it is ovi file
    then from VB go to File--->Import Appliance and navigate to extracted Kali ovi file
    and just wait a little
    on logon user is root, password is toor

    and that is all

    Enable Virtualization in BIOS

    @sysxprct,
    I had the same problem as you, but I have found a fix. You need to enable the Virtualization in the BIOS. But first you should check whether your chipset supports virtualization. I recommend checking out this link: http://www.sysprobs.com/disable-enab...echnology-bios
