Re: panic - no hostbridge(s) detected in SK process main-_proc on release 8.2 (C)

I'm using Virtualbox 5.0.10r -

and the 8.2 simulator, and I can't seem to get all the way to the boot menu.

I have 2 processors, and 4764 MB ram allocated to the VM.

I get other errors - no debug ports present.

I have adjusted the boot loader vis these arguments:

setenv bootarg.init.low_mem 512
setenv bootarg.vnvram.size 64
setenv nvram_discard true

Not sure what else to try.

You shouldn't need those bootargs on 8.2. low_mem is already set at 512 in the download, and the nvram is in fake mode so the other two do not apply. Also 8.2 shouldn't need that much ram. The vmx in the download has it set to 1600MB. Thats a little skimpy but 3gb is probably sufficient

Aside from that its probably something wrong in the vm definition.

If this post resolved your issue, help others by selecting ACCEPT AS SOLUTION or adding a KUDO.

Okay, deleting it and starting over.

For VirtualBox VM, I have the following network settings for my NICs. Do not use 'Bridged Adapter'. Do use 'Host-only Adapter' so you can set specific IP addresses. Make sure to use Adapter Type 'Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (8245EM)'.

This is what NICs look like after successful install of NetApp Sim 8.2.2 on VirtualBox:
