PA-VM-EVAL shutdown automatically after boot

[PanLin]

Hi All,

Recently I requested an Eval image of Palo alto when I install it just after boot it shows an error "Bits 55-60 of /proc/PID/pagemap entries are about to stop being page-shift some time soon".

And after that message it says " stopping pan software" and the VM machine stopped, I start the VM again and it still showing the same message and stop working. 

Any help on that, please?

Many Thanks.

Only time I seen a vm unable to boot up successfully is when the ethernet in .vmx conf file was wrong.

Vsys_remo answer and please set your management in either bridged or natted.

It could also be corrupt image.

Thanks for your reply, but my problem is not with the network adapters.

The VM turned off automatically after 5 min from boot, and the same thing with KVM image on GNS3.

I just found same issue as yours. But if you change VM time to 2021 it will not shutdown itself even still got the error message.

so, are you saying change the time on the PA-VM in the brief period before it shuts down or somewhere else? Thanks.

You need change the time in the PA VM BIOS like 2021?. otherwise it will shutdown automatically later.

Thanks for your help but the VM still shutdown automatically even when I changed the year to 2021 from the bios of PA VM, I don't know about you @FredRenner68 any luck?

1. turn off the VM time sync with host in VM bios setting.

2. Factory reset the PA-VM by input maint when booting the PAN-OS.
