Important Information for First Year Students. Prospective Graduate Students: COVID-19 Information. Some operating systems (such as Ubuntu Server, Kali Linux) require PAE support from the CPU and cannot be run in a virtual machine without it. This is made possible by adding another 4 bits to memory addresses, so that with 36 bits, up to 64 GB can be addressed. Normally, if enabled and supported by the operating system, then even a 32-bit x86 CPU can access more than 4 GB of RAM. PAE stands for “Physical Address Extension”. The Enable PAE/NX setting determines whether the PAE and NX capabilities of the host CPU will be exposed to the virtual machine. You will see the option to Enable PAE/NX. Get back to the home screen of Virtual Box, highlight the Kali Linux in the homescreen, and click Settings.įrom here, navigate to the System submenu and go to the Processor tab. Otherwise, you may get a fatal error when attempting to boot into Kali Linux. We need to enable PAE/NX for the Kali Linux. And the reason for this has to do with networking from what I've read but you can read more on it if you do a quick google search. You might want to try to install using the graphical option that's what worked for me other wise it will fail to install grub. I had that issue on VMWare Workstation while choosing to run Live mode and then trying to install through the gui. Most issues like yours are from not installing Grub.
Not sure if this information below has do do with your issue or how relevant it is but it may help you.
