I'm facing an issue installing a Fedora26-GNOME ISO inside VirtualBox on my new Windows 10 system. The boot process is giving me this frustrating error: "boot_image = vmlinuz crashed." At this stage, the warning isn't appearing anymore, but I see a completely black screen in the VB Guest window. It's odd that the Fedora26-Cinnamon version runs smoothly in VirtualBox and with other distros like OpenSUSE, Scientific Linux, and some Ubuntu versions. I suspect it's not due to VirtualBox or the kernel itself, but something more specific about the Linux distribution. I'm not confident enough in Linux details to figure out the problem further.

No, I don't have a physical CPU to enable virtualization on.

With four functional virtual machines already running, it seems the system supports this feature. It’s possible the BIOS doesn’t require special steps in VirtualBox, though some Fedora versions might behave differently.

Sure, I'd be happy to double-check.

In theory, I should perform well.

Could your settings be incorrect?

Most Linux live CD problems are fixed by checking the file's checksum after downloading. I favor using torrents since they include this verification feature.

Each of the three .iso files received an OK status. A few warnings exist, but the SHA256 checksums appear valid. It seems others have encountered similar issues when updating to newer Fedora releases.
