kernel panic - not syncing: tried to kill idle task

the error is show cca 2 seconds right after the install/live option was selected

  • Android version: x86 4.3 (from here)

I had the same or similar problem and found it was related to my virtualization options being disabled in my computer's BIOS. After enabling them and re-enabling the virtualization options in VirtualBox, I was able to boot it up with no problems.
