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 |

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. |

Starting with these recommendations for Gentoo guests should get you in the |

right ballpark: |

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. |
