Is anyone else having trouble installing kali Linux?
Everytime I press start in the oracle vb, it just doesn’t start and gives this error:
Ntcreatefile(\Device\vBoxdrvstub) Failed:0xc0000034 status object name not found 0 retires rc =-101
Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully

That error suggests that VirtualBox isn’t able to find or load the necessary kernel modules. Here are some steps to fix it:

1. Reinstall VirtualBox and Enable Kernel Modules

  • Uninstall VirtualBox completely.
  • Reinstall it as Administrator (right-click and select Run as Administrator).
  • Reboot your system after installation.

2. Make Sure VirtualBox Drivers Are Installed Properly

  • Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
    sc start vboxdrv
    • If this fails, VirtualBox drivers might not be installed properly.

3. Manually Reinstall VirtualBox Drivers

  • Open Device Manager (Win + X > Device Manager).
  • Expand System devices and look for anything related to VirtualBox.
  • If missing:
    1. Go to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers
    2. Manually install VBoxDrv.inf (Right-click > Install).

4. Disable Hyper-V (If Using Windows)

Hyper-V can interfere with VirtualBox. To disable it:

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
  2. Restart your computer.

5. Enable Virtualization in BIOS

  • Restart your PC and enter BIOS/UEFI (Usually F2, F10, or DEL key).
  • Look for Intel VT-x or AMD-V and enable it.
  • Save changes and reboot.

6. Run VirtualBox as Administrator

  • Right-click VirtualBox and select Run as Administrator before starting the Kali VM.
