Kernel panic when booting Backup System 8.0 ISO in VM

Tobias Whitmore

Hi everyone, I tried booting a VM with the Backup System 8.0 ISO, but ran into an issue.

After starting, the VM screen goes black and shows this error:

end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Exit code=0x00007f00

Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix it?

Tobias Whitmore Hi Tobias,

I wanted to share the issue we encountered when booting the VM:

Issue:
The VM fails to boot because the CPU type needs to be adjusted.

Error log:
end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Exit code=0x00007f00
Solution:
Depending on the virtualization platform, adjust the CPU mode or boot method as follows:

ZStack: Set to host-model

H3C: Set to host passthrough

Sangfor HCI: Enable host CPU

SCP: Change vCPU type to Haswell-noTSX

Inspur iCS Vvdk: Set to SANDBRIDGE

Proxmox: Choose host or Haswell-noTSX

Huawei KVM: Use UEFI boot; BIOS will fail

OpenStack: ISO cannot be used directly; a bootable disk must be created first

Hope this can help you!
