VMW\ware bug – There’s a well-known bug that produces this particular error message even when none of the above conditions are met.In some cases, a higher frequency than normal on your CPU/GPU can trick the software into throwing this particular error message. This happens because, during the booting sequence, the virtual machine performs a selection of frequencies checks. CPU or other component is overclocked – Overclocked components can also trigger this particular error message.Generally, you’ll have to disable SMT from your BIOS / UEFI settings after you enable SVM in order to avoid any conflicts Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is enabled from BIOS/UEFI – VMware and other similar software are known to conflict with multithreading.Several users in a similar situation have managed to get the issue resolved by making sure that SVM is enabled. Secure Virtual Machine (SVM) is disabled from BIOS/UEFI – This issue is often reported to occur if Secure Virtual Machine (SVM) is disabled from BIOS or UEFI (depending on your configuration).VMware Workstation will throw this error if you try to launch a virtual machine while Virtualbox (or similar software is running) Another virtualization software is running at the same time – This is one of the most common reasons why this error occurs.To turn SIP back on, follow the same steps as above but run csrutil enable at the recovery terminal instead. Once your VM has rebooted normally you can verify that SIP was disabled by opening a terminal and running csrutil status

Run csrutil disable from the terminal, followed by reboot Once the Mac has rebooted into the Recovery / Installer system (you may have to choose your language first): From the menu bar, click Utilities > Terminal

The second command will reboot your Mac instantly, so better save any unfinished work first. My Solutionįrom the Terminal, run the following commands (thanks to G5tube for this suggestion) sudo nvram "recovery-boot-mode=unused" Unfortunately, that's where the flag to disable SIP is stored so when my VM came back up SIP was enabled again.

The solution to this problem I found was to just delete the. This allowed me to boot into recovery and could disable SIP but then I couldn't get the VM to boot normally, even after removing that line. I originally tried adding macosguest.forceRecoveryModeInstall = "TRUE" to my.
