Guru Meditation -5300 (VERR_IEM_INSTR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)

[rmansfield]

MacBookPro: Late 2012
Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Verfield on: Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.6) and macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

I've been using VirtualBox for a number of years and this is the first time I have experienced a Guru Meditation while booting CentOS 7.4 for the first time after O/S installation.

I note from the Changelog that a fix was applied to VirtualBox 5.1.22 however the issue has reoccurred in the on El Capitan and High Sierra.

As reported in the forum, disabling "Nested Paging" is a temporary workaround.

This is something that should not be happening. Basically VirtualBox is attempting to emulate in software an instruction that it really shouldn't have any need to emulate.

Based on the forum discussion, this isn't quite a plain vanilla CentOS installation. Could you please provide enough for us to reproduce the problem, ideally a small installed VM (as an OVA archive)?
