Dongsheng, I've been able to reproduce (what appears to be) your problem on my i386 kvm box. In my case, using CPU scaling (apmd) on my OpenBSD client would cause it to get screwy and lose the clock source if I alternately let it run idle and then ran a bunch of CPU or I/O intensive tasks on

Thanks for the responses! I'll look into KVM and VMWare, and possibly some of the others. From the variety of responses it sounds like VirtualBox is the only virtualization software that *doesn't* work with OpenBSD though. Strangely enough, after asking my question, i reinstalled OpenBSD in

I have openbsd running under both of microsoft's virtual systems, virtual pc and virtual server. The advantage of virtual server is the process runs as a service, not as a user program and is available whenever the machine is up.

Hello. I have what is hopefully a quick question. Has anyone successfully run OpenBSD 4.4 in a virtualized environment? If so, which one? I've been trying to get it to run within VirtualBox 2.1 with limited success. (OpenBSD will install, but trying to compile software results in a crash.)
