I used my VM yesterday and opened my laptop today to the following errors.
Unable to retrieve kernel symbols
Failed to initialize the monitor device
Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to
Here are the troubleshooting steps I found from other posts.

ls -l /mach_kernel
-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 0 Feb 18 09:35 /mach_kernel
I noticed that the mach_kernel was missing and i did touch /mach_kernel.
Any suggestions on how to get this working again?
