Unable to start Windows 10 64 build 10162 (preview) guest under i686 Linux host: The digital signature for this file couldn't be verified

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

I have troubles trying to run the preview of Windows 10 64 build 10162 (Windows10_InsiderPreview_x64_EN-US_10162.iso) under Linux (i686 PAE) using VirtualBox 5.0.

When I try to boot my Windows 10 64 guest I see this error message:

Recovery

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

The digital signature for this file couldn't be verified.

Error code: 0xc0000428

My ISO file is correct (verified using SHA1 hash: 31346458255afeac1afeed5c4c61f15d57708b9b)

My host is: Linux 4.1.0 i686 PAE, 16GB of RAM My guest is: Windows 10 64

People with a totally different HW configuration also have this problem.

I have tried disabling audio/network/usb (by converting mouse to PS/2) and also I attached the ISO to an IDE adapter - yet nothing helps.

Same issue as birdie - Host: Windows 8.1 x64 Guest: en_windows_10_enterprise_insider_preview_10074_vhd_x64_6677120.vhd

Microsoft since has turned down all the ISOs, but they can be trivially found via torrents or I can upload the image to Google Docs for your pleasure. The final ISOs will be released soon.

Exactly the same issue. Work around is to rename c:\windows\system32\drivers\VBoxGuest.sys to something else - I mounted the VDI within a Linux VM to do this. Once into Windows, the signature is reported as 'OK' by 'File => Properties => Digital signature'

The initial bug report is about not being able to install Windows 10 64 under VirtualBox. Your problem seems to be totally different (you cannot run it after installation due to "bad" VirtualBox drivers).

The final build of Windows 10 64 (en_windows_10_pro_10240_x64_dvd.iso) cannot be installed as well with the same error message.

VirtualBox 5.0 running on a 64bit of Windows have no problems installing Windows 10 64.

So it's most likely the same problem as #14262. Does disbling nested paging work around the problem?

Wow, it does help, thanks a bunch! Mark this ticket a dupe.

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

Nested pages disabled/Windows 10 64 works

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

VirtualBox log files: bad vs good with basically the same settings except Nested Pages

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

I've noticed that Nested Pages enable the following CPU instructions (they are otherwise disabled):

PCLMUL - PCLMULQDQ support (for AES-GCM)
POPCNT - POPCNT instruction
AES - AES instructions
XSAVE - XSAVE instruction
AVX - AVX support

And without these instructions the guest works. It might be possible that "Nested Pages" itself is not the culprit but the implementation of these functions is.

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

Meanwhile Windows 7 64 BSOD's on installation (with Nested Pages enabled).

Without Nested Pages 64 bit OSes are unusable (run absolutely slowly).

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

Test build 101882 fixes this problem. Hopefully 5.0.1 will be released with this fix.

Thanks!

[Frank Mehnert]

Definitely.

I have the same problem after upgrading Guest Additions from 5.0.0 to 5.0.2 version

[Frank Mehnert]

colorprint, very unlikely that the Guest Additions have something to do with such kind of error. Please attach a VBox.log file of a VM session where you experienced this problem.

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

This is absolutely worth closing.
