Hello, I am trying to build a windows 7 guest using virtualbox-ose-3.1.8. When starting the virtual machine to install the OS, I get the warning: "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot. Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer." I have enabled the following in the BIOS: Intel(R) Virtualization Technology Intel(R) VT-d Feature I have not created a KVM module in the kernel (using gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r12). Is this needed?
No, but now that you've mentioned it have you tried qemu-kvm to see if it has the same complaint? VBox is a fork of qemu, but AFAIK it doesn't use hardware virtualization the way qemu-kvm does (and even qemu added kvm support a few months ago). All three products are good enough to seem like black magic to me :)
