I've always run VBox on a linux host, so I am not familiar with MSWindows host |
| 19 |
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. |
| 23 |
I'd start by looking at the configuration of the linux kernel you're trying to |
| 24 |
boot and at the same time consider the settings of the VM appropriate for your |
| 25 |
hardware, e.g. use AHCI/NVMe for storage instead of PIIX, add more than one |
| 26 |
CPU, adequate memory, etc. |

Starting with these recommendations for Gentoo guests should get you in the |
| 29 |
right ballpark: |

PS. When you boot the Live media within the VM to install Gentoo make sure |
| 34 |
you boot it as legacy BIOS or as UEFI and configure VBox to match. |
