Hi Alexey,Thanks for your explanation. If it is indeed incomplete, that means a really bad news for us. Is there any news/plan that the virtualbox developers/community will fix the issue in the near future?I have another question. I searched in FAQ and saw someone reported that virtualbox could run faster when hardware VT-x was disabled. Not sure what guest did they run. If software virtualization is incomplete, how can software virtualization run faster than the hardware virtualization?Thanks,Louis Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 11:39:46 +0200 From: Alexey Eromenko <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [vbox-dev] Virtualbox without VT-x crashes when running Android To: "VirtualBox developer's list" <[email protected]> I can explain, but you won't like the explanation. Software virtualization in VirtualBox is incomplete, and some commands are just not virtualized correctly.
Windows 8 I think also _requires_ hardware VT to be ON. Now it should not crash. It just should refuse to start VM. (at least it should happen, if Android was officially supported guest OS) From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Virtualbox without VT-x crashes when running Android Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 22:35:50 -0700 Hi Vbox developers, We are experiencing some crashes when we run Android X86 with Vbox on a system without VT-x. The App we run contains ARM code, so we add libhoudini to the VM (just like what AndroidVM does). When we start the App, Vbox crashes. If we turn on VT-x, it seems everything is just fine. Can anyone explain what happened here? Thanks,Louis
