4.3.8: VERR_CPUM_TOO_MANY_CPUID_SUBLEAVES when launching VM [FIXED in SVN]

[mmcginnis]

I just installed VirtualBox on a Lenovo T410 with Hyper-V enabled. Upon launching a VM I get the lowwing error: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine XP Virtual.

Couldn't find the end of CPUID sub-leaves. (VERR_CPUM_TOO_MANY_CPUID_SUBLEAVES).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

Thanks to your reports we've been able to come up with a workaround to deal with this unspecified CPUID behavior. We'll try get the fix out ASAP.

I found another fix for me. My laptop had Hyper-V enabled in the BIOS (I am unable to disable it due to corporate limitations). I found that doing the following and rebooting my laptop allows the VM's to run:

Hope this helps....

1. Open Hyper-V manager and "stop service" on the right panel,

2. Start a command prompt with administrator rights and execute the following command:

to disable hyper-v bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

to enable hyper-v bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

3. Both Operations require restarting your computer.
