Hi,
I have a thinkpad w520 installed with Windows 10(64bit) as Host OS, I am able to run Debian Linux(64bit) as VM in Virtual Box, but when I downloaded QuickStartCHD5.7 and trying to boot it up in Virtual Box it got following error.
init: prefdm main porcess ended
init: prefdm respawning too fast, stopped
Could anyone please tell me how could I solve the problem?

I have to switch to VMWare image(cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.7.0-0-vmware), and run the VM with VMWare Player, it's able to be boot up now. 🙂

Doen VMWare run in a subordinated role (within) VirtualBox ?
No, download VMware-player-6.0.7-2844087.exe, it's free for downloading and using for non-commercial use, and then download VMWare image(cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.7.0-0-vmware), you could just unintall VirtualBox and then install VMWare Playser, and then boot up the VMWare image within it.
Those should clear your doubts.

When I monitor startup, I can see that there are several readonly errors. I too am unable to get both 5.5 and 5.7 working on the newest version of VirtualBox.

Is the solution to rum VMWare?
Is cloudera's position that QuickStartCHD VM 5.7 will not run on VirtualBox?

Hi Steve6c,
The CDH 5.7 Cloudera Quickstart VM (QVM) has been running just fine on my Mac. I also have a number of students running it on non-Mac hardware. All of us are using VirtualBox. In the past I have used the VMware version of the QVM without a problem, too. I am running VirtualBox Version 5.0.14 r105127.

Could be, I am upgrading VB to Version 5.0.24 r108355 to test it out. Will let you know what I find.
... Okay, I upgraded VirtualBox to 5.0.24, downloaded a fresh QVM zip, and launched it successfully. If you'd like to post more information about what's going wrong, I can try to help.

I have never tried others except VMWare player and Virtual Box, forget about Virtual Box, so far, VMWare is only solution works for me.
They have quick start image for Virtual Box, but it just couldn't be boot up on my laptop, that's why I have to try to download another specific image for VMWare and run it in VMWare Player, it works for me.

Hi JohnnyW, I am running the VirtualBox image on my Mac and ThinkPad without a problem. Glad you were able to get the VM working : )
