#21592 new defect

Nested virtualization not working with QEMU

Reported by: Koen Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox-7.0.6
Keywords: nested virtualization Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description

The context in which this issue arised is that I am setting up a virtual machine running Cape Sandbox (https://github.com/kevoreilly/CAPEv2). My main OS is Fedora 37, on which I have installed VirtualBox-7.0.6 from the Oracle repo (also tried Fedora repo earlier). The guest OS is an Ubuntu 22.04.02 machine with the most recent updates installed. I checked on my main host OS that nested virtualization is available both in BIOS and in software. I should note that I have installed guest additions both on the host and on the guest. The issue occurs when I run a newly created Windows 10 virtual machine using KVM/QEMU on the guest. I can briefly see te VM starting, after which VirtualBox reports an error and halts the machine.

While researching this issue, I noticed that another user experienced something similar: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=108816&p=533102&hilit=qemu+nested#p533102

I couldn't upload the core dump here because it was too large, but here is a download link: https://ufile.io/yjyxqive

I'm not really experienced in collecting these types of logs, so I hope everything is good.

If you require any additional information, please let me know.
