Has anyone been able to install Windows Server 2008 (64 bit) guest on Vbox 2.0 (2.0.2_AQ)...
I tried to install it on my 64 bit virtual box installation, but when it boots it just crashes and that virtual guru shows up and I just tell it to power off..
For the record, This is what I have as a host:
Processor: Intel core-2 quad (Q9550)
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Vista Ultimate 64-bit
For the guest settings, I do have all 4 checkboxes (ACPI, APIC, VT-x/AMD-V, PAE/NX) checked...
etc...
I tried disabling the NIC interface, but no dice, it still hangs/crashes...
Am I doing something wrong or forgetting something??? Or will Server 2008 64-bit just not work as a guest??
Has anyone else gotten this to work??
I guess I will relent and use the 32-bit version of server 2008 as a guest if this is not gonna work, but has anyone gotten THAT (32-bit) to work as a guest??

Please check if your motherboard supports virtualisation. VB should have a check for this if it's available (if it's not, the checkbox should be grayed out), but it could fail for some reasons.

Yes I have tried to search for a similar issue but all the posts I have found pertain to the 1.0 version of virtualbox, and not the 2.0 (or later) versions...
If there is a post that describes my issue (perhaps I missed it) could you point me to it?
Thank you much...
