On my fedora 7, with VirtualBox-1.5.6_28266_fedora7-1.x86_64 I created a vm for winXP, with a raw partition (/dev/sdb2) as the hard drive installed winXP. During install, it crashed several times. After it finally managed to install itself, I tried to boot the HD. Windows could not be booted. I wonder if this is a problem with windows or vbox.
So, I resorted to a virtual disk, installed and booted and xp came up. The problem is that I cannot get bridged networking to work. I followed every step described in section 6.5.1.3 Bridging on Redhat and Fedora hosts Which results in br0 becoming my "real" interface to the outside world, i.e. it ends up with the IP address that belonged to eth0, and eth0 ends up having no IP address. I don't know much about networking, but is this how I should have ended up on the host OS? I also set up the windows guest network to use vbox0. Problem is that after I created vbox0 on fedora host, the document does not describe how to bring up vbox0 interface. It also has no IP address. I ran service network restart several times to no avail. vbox0 remains without an IP address. Should I manually give it an IP address in 10.0.2 subnet? On the guest side, I still cannot get windows network to come up. Thanks for any info that would get this going. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
