  • Did you set up Hardware Virtualization and VT-x in BIOS? Your Kali download was almost for sure 64-bit. I have a Kali Guest in VMware Workstation and it works great.

This seems to be an issue with your BIOS settings. You need to go into your bios (try del and the function keys on boot) and enable the virtualisation settings in the BIOS. This will under names like VT-d VT-x and virtualisation. Make sure all of those are on. Save those settings and reboot. You should now be able to start the guest.

If Hardware Virtualization is not available, then you can only run 32-bit guests.

Download Kali 32-bit from here (it is listed)
