[opensuse] Loading 64-bit Guest in VirtualBox
I have v3.0.6_OSEr52128 which YaST Software Manager shows to be x86_64 but when I try to load Windows 7 64 Bit it fails saying the CPU is not 64-bit. My host OS is OSE 11.2 fully patched. Kernel: 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux What am I missing here?

To run a 64bit-guest OS on VirtualBox, regardless of the host OS, your cpu needs to support hardware virtualization extensions, i.e. Intel VT-X or AMD-V. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/linux-tip-how-to-tell-if-your-processor... Regards, Tejas On 02/04/10 01:11, Lucky Leavell wrote:

I should have posted this with my original post. My processor is an Intel T3400 which has the virtualization extensions. I did check to make sure it was turned on in the BIOS but there was no BIOS setting. I hope it is on by default. I do also have VMware server 2 running (thanks to OSE forum!). (Perhaps a call to Lenovo support; I have an IdeaPad G530.) I may download the latest VB from virtualbox.org but really wanted to stick to the one from OSE repositories.

I tried for some time to find that information on the Intel site but only found a page that gave partial info. But,yes, this is the problem: it is a 64-bit processoe without VT-x support. I currently run64-bit OSE11.2 fine natively but it would not install under either VMware or VirtualBox for that reason. Lenovo even put a 32-bit Vista on it. I am building a new server with Xeon 55xx which will run VMware ESXi as primary OS and OSE under than. Even though Win 7 is a desktop I guess I'll have to run it there or put it on the shelf and look at it...
