hi all ! Why are so many guest OSes are not working? such as RedHat Linux 7/9/FC1 and Win98, Xandros 3 and Solaris 10 fails also.
working guest OSes: SUSE Linux 10.0/10.2 and Win 2000/XP (with DOS somewhere in the middle between working and non-working, it boots but has a lot of problems) Why is this ? That is - are most bugs in the BIOS or the CPU ring-0 emulation or where ? Also why IBM OS/2 requires VT ? Will Vanderpool make all those other guest OSes magically work ? VirtualPC and VMware are capable of running a lot of OSes why? ... and I'm going to fill bug reports against VirtualBox, until I will be able to run any x86 OS I have. (ok, I don't expect integration for every OS in existence, but every x86 OS in existence should work (at least in minimalistic mode, detecting mouse, keyboard, video, and hard disk) - neither VirtualPC nor VMware achieved that, but there are much closer to this ultimate target) -Alexey _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
