I checked my BIOS and all the virtualization features were enabled, so this wasn’t my issue. Some people experienced this symptom when the virtualization features were disabled in their BIOS. Needless to say this was the first thing I tried and it didn’t work for me. The notes produced by the timeout suggest increasing the timeout by adding the following to the Vagrantfile.
VAGRANT SSH WINDOWS 10
My Windows 10 machine has the same version of VirtualBox and Vagrant installed, so it wasn’t anything to do with those software versions directly. Using a single vCPU for the DNS node worked fine on Windows 10. This can be done by adding the following entry to the Vagrantfile. Some references suggest maxing out the video memory also. 🙂Īs soon as I switched the DNS node to use 2 vCPUs the kernel panics stopped and I was able to move forward. I never thought to try other builds, as the DNS build was the simplest and quickest. Since you build the DNS node first, I was being blocked.

It just so happened my problems were occurring when I was doing a RAC build, where the DNS node has a single vCPU. When I started to Google for VirtualBox kernel panics, I came across a forum thread where people said they were seeing this when they had a VM with a single vCPU.

This seemed to be different to all the other problems people were encountering. Typical! After trying all of those proposed fixes below I eventually started watching the VirtualBox console during boot and I noticed there was a kernel panic being reported, and the boot was stalling. This was my issue, and of course it was the last suggestion I found. If you are experiencing this issue, maybe one of these will fix things for you. I’ve just found one that worked for me, so I figured I would write this post to bring together the fixes I tried, regardless of success for me. That started me Googling, which came back with a bunch of results, each of which appeared to work for some people, but not all. I didn’t get the same issue on other hosts (Windows 10 and macOS), so I figured it was something specific to Windows 11. The timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value. If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly, Problem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes.

Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine. If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that The configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period. Vagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. You can see an example of the output here. The “vagrant up” command would always hang at the “SSH auth method: private key” stage. Out of nowhere I recently started to get problems with Vagrant running on a Windows 11 host.
