I was curious and decided to test installing the 32 bit Win8 on a 64 bit
host (Ubuntu-10.10 x86_64) with no VT-x
It fails. It does work installing the 32 bit on a 64 bit host
(Debian-7) with VT-x.
Only thing I notice is that is different is *no VT-x and IO APIC causing
an issue for me.
I was amazed to see a Win8 32bit version to tell you the truth. All I
have been hearing is it would be 64Bit only.
But I wonder if this is a real regression since the VBox forum is
saying pretty much the same thing on a released version.

38746 is the one I am using too, but I am testing it on Windows 32-bit

The error occurs randomly, which never happened before. My hd is
highly fragmented, only have enough free space to hold about 8GB for
the new vm.
I will test Linux version on the same hd to compare.

I installed Win8 yesterday using VDI, SATA, and it went smoothly
SVN r38746 Debian 7 x86_64 host
Guest additions failed as I expected it would.
I actually installed it two times. Deleted the entire build and
installed again to test.

Hi,
the trim feature does not depend on the SSD flag but is a
separate feature which needs to be enabled manually, the default
is to disable trim ( everything else is a bug ;) )

Note: If you used a VDI file and activated the SSD flag then the
SVN
code will strip out unused code from the VDI file. As this code is
very new then this could be the reason for the problems you
observe.
Did you enable the SSD-Flag for the drive associated with the VDI
file?
Kind regwrds,

Why do you think this is a regression? Did you try to install
Windows 8
with an older SVN version?

might be SATA controller bug too, as it is more stable when

trying to install Windows 8 to vdi image, and it fails
randomly. Seems
recent code changes have introduced a bug to vdi.
It stops at some random percentage of Windows expanding
phase,25%, 96%,
etc. It never succeeded, tried 5 times with today's SVN code.
vmdk/vhd works fine.
