64-bit guests on 64-bit host will not install

Did you PowerOff your laptop after enabling virtual support.
AC cord and battery out for few seconds.

Looks like in version 2.2.2, when using a newer Turion CPU, and having AMD-V enabled, allmost ALL 64 bit OSs will fail. Ubuntu is the only exception I can find. Solaris 10 32 bit, OpenSolaris, Windows 7... all fail. Using 2.1.4 they are fine. I wish I knew more about programming or I'd fix it. Sorry.

Everything appears functional in 2.1.4, but you loose all the nice 3D features in the 2.2.2 version. Is there anyway to revert back to 2.1.4 without causing harm to the existing images?

Found and fixed the problem. A fix will be included in 3.0.4.
