cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.7.0-0-virtualbox not loading

[#1]

Hi,

cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.7.0-0-virtualbox not loading: I get this error "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"

though I have a x-86 64 bit processor (Intel Core i5-6300U CPU which is 64 bit)

Can anyone please help?

Regards,

Sanjeev

Welcome to the community @sanjeevn. Have you checked your operating system to ensure that it is 64bit as well?

Hi Jervis,

I am having a windows 10 64 bit OS.

If you set up the VM manually, you may have accidentally selected a 32bit OS as several are available. 

The easiest way to create the VM is outined in the Community Article How to setup Cloudera Quickstart Virtual Machine. 

Using the specific documentation and instructions provided by your hypervisor application, open the extracted file into that hypervisor application.
For example, if you elected to use VirtualBox, you would have downloaded and extracted a *.ovf file from Cloudera. Use the “File -> Import Appliance” menu inside VirtualBox to open your downloaded *.ovf file, or simply double-click on the file itself and VirtualBox should handle it from there.

This worked for me, Thanks a lot!
