Hi everyone,

I've a problem to launch my Virtual Machine.

I'm under a Debian 5.0 with 2.6.30.1 Kernel. I'm connecting over ssh without any graphical interface available.
I've installed VBox 3.0.2 Official.

I've create a Vm named vmxp.
I've set my server like that:

/etc/network/interface

Code: Select all

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.27.190.2
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        network 10.27.0.0
        broadcast 10.27.255.255
        gateway 10.27.1.1
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
        dns-nameservers 10.27.12.1
        dns-search NV.COM

# The primary Bridge Network device
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        bridge-ports eth0 tap0
        bridge-ageing 7200
        bridge-fd 0
        address 10.27.190.1
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        gateway 10.27.1.1

# The primary Virtual Network Adapter For xVM VirtualBox
auto tap0
iface tap0 inet static
        tunctl_user vboxnet
        address 10.27.190.51
        netmask 255.255.0.0
        gateway 10.27.1.1

Problem:

When I try to start my VM trought Headless process, Virtaulbox says me:

Error: failed to start machine. Error message: Failed to launch VRDP server (VERR_NET_HOST_NOT_FOUND)

But when I've create my Vm, I've specified:

VBoxManage modifyvm vmxp --vrdpaddress tap0 --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 tap0

Is there something wrong on these settings?

OK it was simply an addressing problem. About this problem, just becarefull of the fact that you need to have an VT-X Compatible CPU, you can't use more than one cpu per machine.
