    So I'm not all that good at reading VBox log files but I don't see anything obvious showing a VBox problem. It looks like it starts booting and
    somewhere
    around 20 seconds it gives up and then a minute later you shut the VM down.

    Is this basically what happened?

    So when Gentoo is booting what do you see in the VM's boot screen?

    You appear to be running Win 11 as a host which I have no experience with.

    "invalid opcode: 0000" is highly suspicious.

    Please learn how to ask for help.  You have provided next to no useful information.  From the other thread, you provided a log, and the fact
    that you are trying to run a Gentoo guest on a Windows (which version?)
    host.  Which version of VB?  The latter might matter, as there have been
    some reports of VBox instability, although I believe those are on Linux
    hosts, not guests.

    In the other thread, you mention that the crash happens on shutting
    down.  How did you shut down?  Have you tried other ways?  Have you
    checked the virtualbox forums for similar reports?

    Sorry, I misread. You shut down after it crashes. Any idea what makes
    it crash? Does it crash if you just start it and just let it sit?

    Jack,
    I'm no expert at reading crash reports but the screenshot he provided earlier looks to me like the boot started, worked its way through the
    initram stuff and then when handing over control to the main kernel
    got mixed up and jumped to address 0000 which segfaults.

    I have no idea what that means in terms of a specific Gentoo
    build. Is the kernel binary corrupted? The initram? Beyond my
    abilities.

    No problem. :-)

    It crashes on boot actually to answer your question.

    I've always run VBox on a linux host, so I am not familiar with MSWindows host peculiarities. However, I would think VBox on MSWindows would/should be plug 'n play.

    From what you've shown you're experiencing a kernel crash of the VM at boot. I'd start by looking at the configuration of the linux kernel you're trying to boot and at the same time consider the settings of the VM appropriate for your hardware, e.g. use AHCI/NVMe for storage instead of PIIX, add more than one CPU, adequate memory, etc.

    Starting with these recommendations for Gentoo guests should get you in the right ballpark:

    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VirtualBox#Gentoo_guests

    PS. When you boot the Live media within the VM to install Gentoo make sure you boot it as legacy BIOS or as UEFI and configure VBox to match.

    Please stop top-posting. It makes these emails difficult to read.

    Did you enable hardware virtualisation (VT) in the BIOS?
    What are the VM-settings you use for the VM?
    Does your host have sufficient CPU-cores and memory for the Host + the VM?
