Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Hadoop.

The virtual machine 'Hadoop' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}

I tried the below things.

sudo su
csrutil clear
reboot

Uninstalling and then re-installing Virtual Box multiple times.
I did not receive any permission request to enable the blocked loading extensions in System preferences–>security.

csrutil enable 
reboot

I tried on a Mac intel chip 2017 and it runs perfectly fine.
Not sure what to change for the M1 chip here.

Best Answer

VirtualBox does not run on an ARM chip such as the M1.
There's a long discussion on it here - https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=98742

Parallels have a functional beta & VMWare say there's one 'on the way' but as far as I know the only one that claims to be fully functional is UTM, which I haven't tried myself.
There's a setup guide on OWC's blog - UTM: Run Virtual Machines On Your Apple Silicon M1 Mac
