title: My virtual windows machine from VirtualBox on Big Sur will not start

A quick fix if your virtual machine will not start. As long, as you got the
|
|
same configuration as me

Okay, a quick one. I've updated my macbook now to Big Sur today. A lot of files
|
|
have been copied and moved and written and so on -- I think that update was
|
|
something around 12 GB of files to download...
|
|
|
|
So my virtual windows machine won't start. With a quick Google search I found some
|
|
hints, that the kernel drivers will not load or something like that. A few posts
|
|
below I read something about the System Protection of macOS and read on a bit.
|
|
|
|
Now to make things short: I restarted the macbook, went straight into recovery
|
|
mode and fired up the terminal.
|
|
|
|
The command `csrutil status` told me, that my system was in an undefined state.
|
|
I'm not sure what I changed here on the last major macOS version but it printed
|
|
a few changes and something that I did not read completely. I just enabled the
|
|
protection system as suggested on the forums before and rebootet the system again.
|
|
|
|
To enable Apples protection system, type this command:
|
|
|
|
~~~console
|
|
$ csrutil enable
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
After that, type `reboot` and hit enter.
|
|
|
|
This fixed it for me and I am now able to run my virtual windows machine. But: I
|
|
still cannot open my NFS shares on my Raspberry Pi yet.
