Hello everyone!

I'm having some troubles with Minix. I could run it on Mac, but not in Windows and Linux. Always falls on Meditation Guru. Here comes log:

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Here is log

This is your problem.

Code: Select all

00:00:01.932731 WARNING! 64-bit guest type selected but the host CPU does NOT support HW virtualization.

[socratis]

Hmm... I don't think that gugarthur selected the 64-bit option. The Guest OS it 'Other', not 'Other_64', so I'm not sure why the log complains about something like that. From the log itself:

00:00:01.905591 Guest OS type: 'Other'

True but for some reason VirtualBox is seeing this as a request.

Since the CPU "00:00:02.399104 Full Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz" does not support VMX, it may be because the VT-x/AMD-v setting is enabled in the guest receipt
that could be causing this error "00:00:14.995370 !! Guru Meditation -1701 (VERR_MM_HYPER_NO_MEMORY)"

OP look in the processor section of the guest and make sure VT-x/AMD-v is not enabled and see if that helps.

I'm having same problem. my processor doesn't support virtualization technology.
if problem is solved please post the solution
.

Hello, everyone

The problem is virtualization extension of processor. You have to enable it on BIOS Setup. The Minix page shows how to fix it: http://wiki.minix3.org/doku.php?id=user ... orkarounds.

My computer is very old and the processor don't have this option. I tested Minix on other machine with virtualization extension and it worked. There is another solution on Minix page, but I preferred to change of PC.

I hope this helps you.
