Hi, (hope this is the correct forum) I've just installed Opensolaris 2009.06 with no obvious problems. I then installed VirtualBox 3, again, with no obvious problems. When I tried to install Windows XP in a virtual machine I had all sorts of problems. Hunting around I noticed that VB was starting the amd64 version! I checked various bits and noticed that the OS seems to think it's instruction set is for the AMD64 not the i386 that I've got. Am I a) missing something or b) over-reacting and misreading the output from the following:-
root at gandalf:~# uname -a SunOS gandalf 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris root at gandalf:~# prtdiag -v | head -8 System Configuration: System manufacturer P5KC BIOS Configuration: American Megatrends Inc. 0804 10/30/2007 ==== Processor Sockets ==================================== Version Location Tag -------------------------------- -------------------------- Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz LGA775 root at gandalf:~# isainfo amd64 i386 root at gandalf:~# isainfo -k amd64 Is there anything else I should be looking at or any way to force the OS into i386 'mode'?
