VirtualBox imported VM - VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED - VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND

Question

On VirtualBox, I've exported a Ubuntu Server VM (File \ Export Appliance) and tried to imported it on a different machine. every thing went well with export and import. But, when I start the imported VM, I get this VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND.

Its quite weird. If I ditch the Import process and straight away create a new VM and use the exported VMDK, it works fine!!

Both machines are using the same version of VirtualBox (3.2.4 r62467)

Any clues?

Answer 1

I found this same issue, OS X host exported to a Windows XP host. Both VirtualBox 3.2.6 r63112. Perhaps it is a bug that should be filed?

Workaround - create a new VM and import the VMDK manually.

Answer 2

I had the same issue, the settings were imported for the appliance, so I changed the settings to match the new computer (1 cpu instead of 2, and less memory).
