I will start this with the log of Virtualbox. It installed very easily on another system Debian based but I felt Mageia was more stable in behavior. But here I can not seem to start Virtualbox.

This the Virtualbox log.
The 1st time I ran into this, the extension was not installed. I thought that was the problem and installed it.
By the way, that was very difficult it would NOT install that & I got a workaround. I had read all the issues in here about the extension not installing but non of them seemed to be why it would not install here.
I even removed and reinstalled Virtualbox but that didn't help.
In the end, because it was asking me for my root pass then starting the install before I typed it. I opened a root file manager then clicked the ext pack and it opened Virtual box and installed.
Then just to see, I opened Virtualbox nomamally after closing that root session and it said the extension was installed.
I deleted the 1st "new" VM and made a new one. This log message is exactly the same as the 1st without the extensions. Only now it says the extension is installed.
What i understand from this log and the previous is it is literally saying it won't can't start this VM because there's no memory?
My system has 16gb of ram and I allotted 3gb to Windoz 10. Which worked in Debian.
So there seems to be something that Virtualbox is not accessing here? OR can not see?
Is there anyone who can understand this better than I. No more tricks to try because I do not understand what is really going on here.
Failed to load VMMR0.r0
This seems to be the primary culprit. I am sorry but my understanding is not that great. Just as a thought but I am likely incorrect, shouldn't this be related to the kernel, kernel headers & all that?
They are installed according to the package managers. Is there anything else that would cause it not to load this?
Seems nothing further I can do here because I am not seeing anything like this in the forum I can identify. Waiting for someone's reply.
Thank you all.
