I am sorry for not replying earlier.
There is absolutely no problem running 64 Bit Vista on VirtualBox in case that
I select a Vista 64 bit version in the VirtualBox setup.
There are however some strange things hat confused me.....
At Home I have a quad Opteron Box:
psrinfo -pv
The physical processor has 2 virtual Prozessoren (0 1)
x86 (AuthenticAMD 20F12 family 15 model 33 step 2 clock 2400 MHz)
Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 880
The physical processor has 2 virtual Prozessoren (2 3)
x86 (AuthenticAMD 20F12 family 15 model 33 step 2 clock 2400 MHz)
Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 880
VirtualBox gives me no option to select a 64 bit guest.
VirtualBox gives me no option to select more than one CPU.
It may be that I checked options at home and later did not search for more
options in the office.
The following problems with VirtualBox still exist even with the new 3.0.6:
- In the office, the keyboard works as expected:
- Ctl C creates a ^C in the guest
- right Ctl allows to deselect from a catched mouse cursor
- At home, the keyboard does not work correctly:
- Ctl C creates a "c" in the guest.
left Ctl + Alt + right Ctl + c sometimes works....
Sometimes it helps to first press "c" and then Ctl
- right Ctl does not deselect from a catched mouse cursor
left Ctl + Alt + right Ctl in most cases works....
The only potentially related difference I see is that at home the primary
keyboard at home is PS2 and the primary keyboard at work is USB.
VritualBox still aborts while trying to do a compilation or running "configure"
on "Haiku" (a free BeOS clone). This has been reported as a bug a long time ago.
