Everytime I try to start a Virtual Machine (VM ) using VirtualBox in Ubuntu (right now I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 - Lucid Lynx ) I get an error as follows:
Failed to start the virtual machine UbuntuServer_9.10_32b.
VirtualBox can't operate in VMX root mode. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE).
With these details:
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e128d71c3}
To solve this We have to disable KVM modules using the following commands:
sudo rmmod kvm_intel
sudo rmmod kvm
Now the VM starts without any problem.

I was using Ubuntu 10.04 and version 3.2.8 r....
and a 'scientific' approach of trial and error....
1. make sure that no KVM modules are loaded
lsmod | grep kvm
should come up empty
2. execute mysterious code:
export VBOX_HMVIRTEX_IGNORE_SVM_IN_USE=1
(?????)
3. Open VirtualBox
VirtualBox
4. create new machine with the old .vdi vile (machine_name.vdi)
5. start!
6. *earlier I also did the following:
chmod 777 some /Machines/machine_name
but I dont know if that was required.
fixed it for me. ms office here I come!!!!
thanks
