VirtualBox Linux Mint Stuck on 3 out of 5 dots

linux mint loading stuck on 3 of 5 dots

Basically because of Spectre there are now Kernel mode protections that are supposed to prevent hacking.

Right now it is making it so that the latest version of VirtualBox and the latest version of Mint can't agree and at install time the Linux Kernel fails with:

KERNEL PANIC NOT SYNCHRONISING "CORRUPTED STACK DETECTED" windows 10 virtualbox -vmware

You can see this error if you edit the grub at boot up and replace quiet splash with nomodeset and do a startup.

Long story short, fallback to VirtualBox 6.0.6 and it should all work again. Maybe in a few years VirtualBox and Windows will get get their act together to support the latest kernel security patches again in Linux.

VirtualBox v 6.0.6
