I've tried VirtualBox for Debian 1.6.2AMD64, 1.6.4AMD64, and 1.6.4 32bit on Debian etch AMD64 and the 32 bit version. All with the same problem mentioned before. This morning I also tried VB 1.6.4 32bit on a Pentium III machine with Debian etch. Works just fine. Made it all the way thru the guest winxp sp2 installation no problems. Specs for the AMD machine are Tyan S3992-E Thunder H2000M Two Opteron 2352 Quad core 32G Registered ECC SDRAM-Kingston Seagate sata 250G Hard drive Debian and VirtualBox install with no problems or error messages. One thing that is different is the need to disable nmi_watchdog in the kernel on the AMD machine.

With the same result. I've been trying many different options. Using sata was one, but like you said you have to install via ide first then install the sata driver in the guest. Sorry I should've changed the showvminfo. I found a ticket(1901) on virtualbox.org about windows host and 1.6.4. So I think I'll try the 32bit 1.6.2 I orginally tested with in the morning. Does anyone have a debian etch 1.6.2 amd64 deb version of virtualbox. I didn't see anyway to download previous versions on virtualbox.org Thanks for the help, Mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Gregory Nowak Sent: Sun 8/3/2008 4:38 PM To: VirtualBox end user list Subject: Re: [vbox-users] Windows XP SP2 guest install -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I stand to be corrected, but I seem to recall that the xpsp2 install media doesn't support sata out of the box, unless you load the drivers for it right when the installer starts. It looks like you've got sata enabled, and the ide controller disabled. I'd therefore suggest reversing that (I.E. disable sata, and enable ide), and trying the install process again.

I can't get Windows XP to install as a guest. The installation starts and copies the initial windows files and then reboots, I get the windows xp startup graphic and then the BSOD. BSOD doesn't mention anything specific. Just the stop message Stop: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005,0x8050E0F8,0xF7605658,0x00000000). Happens every time.

In my VBox.log files I see PIIX3 references no PIIX4. I tried to change this but the idecontroller setting mentioned in the user manual looks to be dropped in 1.6. > > Thanks in advance for any help, > Mike > > Latest Showvminfo > Name: HS > Guest OS: Other/Unknown > UUID: 9b34e78f-4551-4ffa-2286-ce97071b7bf4 > Config file: /mike/.VirtualBox/Machines/HS/HS.xml > Memory size: 1000MB > VRAM size: 8MB > Boot menu mode: message and menu > ACPI: off > IOAPIC: on > PAE: off > Time offset: 0 ms > Hardw. virt.ext: on > State: aborted (since 2008-08-03T11:23:32.000000000) > Monitor count: 1 > Floppy: empty > SATA: disabled > Primary master: /mike/.VirtualBox/VDI/HS.vdi (UUID: e279eef7-95f2-4720-bcbf-4a9672dd9796) > DVD: /mike/winxpcd.iso (UUID: a334aa13-4ee2-4fdb-789a-9cebac2d4fb0) > NIC 1: MAC: 0800272128B8, Attachment: NAT, Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: Am79C973, Reported speed: 0 Mbps > NIC 2: disabled > NIC 3: disabled > NIC 4: disabled > UART 1: disabled > UART 2: disabled > Audio: disabled (Driver: Unknown, Controller: Unknown) > Clipboard Mode: Bidirectional > VRDP: disabled > USB: disabled > > USB Device Filters: > > <none> > > Shared folders: <none> > > Guest: > > Statistics update: disabled > _______________________________________________ > vbox-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users - -- web site: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org gpg public key: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org/pubkey.asc skype: gregn1 (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) - -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkiWFzYACgkQ7s9z/XlyUyBHwwCgossqPjM8usj7OUFYJ43rPy3C VZgAoLawIxbO2nzvc1N2eqGnJEE1zaZH =OrJ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
