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

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

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