Nested virtualisation problem

[mercury131]

Hello everyone!

I try to run virtual box inside VM, but when I run vm inside virtual box it freezes.

How it looks:

I still see virtual box start screen, F12 button not working.

But I can reset /poweroff this VM and virtualbox GIU working, I dont understand what hapening.

I check my PVE, nested virtualization enabled, my CPU support it, inside guest VM (centos 7, where installed Virtual box ) I run:

and see virtualisation is activated.

I check another VM with same qemu settings, with windows guest and Hyper V in it.
Everything is working I can run 64bit VM, also I try VMware ESXI, it also works.

I dont understand why Virtual box not run VM.

My proxmox VM config:

Also I try to run vm via terminal command, no errors in output:

[root@localhost ~]# VBoxManage startvm 4
Waiting for VM "4" to power on...
VM "4" has been successfully started.

I try to Enable/Disable CPU acceleration, PAE, Nested Paging, add vCPU/RAM - nothing helps.

Please help me run Virtual box correctly =)

I need it for internal testing (vbox + vagrant tests)

Hey.
I have exactly the same problem.
All attempts to correct, did not lead to a result.
My CPU:
Ryzen 2400
Virtual Environment 6.0-11
At the same time, Vmvare works

Both or you seem to have AMD cpu. I have Intel Xeon and Virtualbox works nested for me. Could it be a vbox bug with AMD?

Maybe..
I write another article on Virtual Box forum, they say it's unsupported configuration.
Nested Virtual Box works only inside another Virtual box.

Maybe wa can emulate Intel CPU in proxmox VM?
But I don't understand how to emulate Intel vmx anstead AMD smv..
