x64 guest not supported from VBox 2.2.0?

Post by artso »

I have AMD Athlon X2 7750 BE on Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 (Rev.1, BIOS F6a) Virtualization Enabled in BIOS
VirtualBox installed on Windows XP Pro SP3. I test VirtualBox version from 2.1.0 to 3.0.0.
With version 2.1.0, 2.1.2, 2.1.4 - x64 guest installing normally, but with 2.2.0, 2.2.2, 2.2.4, 3.0.0 - say what CPU not x64.
Bug or x64 guest now not supported?

You're not the first one who reports this. It should still work, but it seems that somehow, 64 bit Guests on 32 bit Hosts are not working as they should. Do you have a 64 bit Host OS with which you can test this?

Just make sure you don't use KVM and VB at the same time. You can't use Hardware Virtualization with different programs at the same time.
