Hi, I am having this problem when trying to open the WebOS 4 emulator. When I open the emulator, it always gets stuck at the “Booting the kernel.” part.
I tried to install the emulator using this guide. I got the emulator via Emulator Manager on Visual Studio Code extension (WebOS Studio) but I still got the same error.
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I need this emulator to see if my application can run properly on an older device.
For additional info, I use Windows 11 23H2, NVIDIA GPU and 32GB RAM.
Thank you @narae0.kim for the reply.
For anyone still having this problem, try restarting the emulator until the cursor/caret under the “Booting the Kernel” keeps flashing. You can do it by pressing Host+R (Default key for “Host” is Right Ctrl). If the cursor/caret freezes or does not appear, you will need to restart the emulator again.
Disabling the “Nested Paging” option in the virtual machine settings (System/Acceleration) helped me. Additionally, I set the boot image to SUSE Linux 64, though I’m not sure if that had any effect.
