vboxdrv HPET warnings
I am getting the following in my /var/adm/messages file...
vboxdrv: [ID 542971 kern.notice] HPET: using timer above configured range: 3
it occurs each time I boot a VM.
Solaris 11.1, VBOX 4.2.4 - Lenovo T510 - the rest as previously disclosed in the threads about USB devices appearing/disappearing...

Re: vboxdrv HPET warnings
I don't think HPET is enabled by default. Have you enabled it or checked that it is enabled?vboxdrv: [ID 542971 kern.notice] HPET: using timer above configured range: 3
Check status:
Code: Select all
VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details
Code: Select all
VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|name> [--hpet on|off]

Re: vboxdrv HPET warnings
That's the odd part... it's disabled in the VM - yet, I can consistently get the message in /var/adm/messages if I reboot the VM....

That is odd. Maybe Ramshanker will drop by and can explain.

Re: vboxdrv HPET warnings
I've turned hpet on and off in the vm, restarting the VM after each change. The message gets logged regardless of setting.

It's a Windows 7 Pro - 64bit guest OS - if that makes any difference at all.
