Is the Windows Server 2008 released on Virtualbox 3.0.6 ?

Hello,

i looked at the Virtualbox homepage for released GuestOSes, but there is nothing written about the Windows Server 2008 64bit.
Does someone knows if the Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 64Bit is released at Virtualbox 3.0.6 ?
If not, when it should be released :?:

I have it working in 3.0.6. Are you unable to install it?
Make sure that your bios has hardware-v and it is turned on.
Your bios must support hardware-v to be able to install a 64 bit guest.
Also is the host 64 bit?

Yes, the host is 64 Bit, a Debian lenny with a 2.6.30-1-amd64 kernel and Virtualbox 3.0.6.

I installed the maschine 2 month ago, but i have problems with hang ups.
The guest is running the whole week untill sundays.
On sundays between 0:55 and 5:00 am the maschine hang up. Then i have to poweroff the guest and start it again.
I wrote about this problem here: http://forum.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23060

And today i looked at the status-site of Virtualbox for supported GuestOSes and was wondering that the Server 2008 is not in the list.
But in Virtualbox itself i can choose Windows Server 2008 64Bit as GuestOS.

So is ist released or not?

Sometimes the web site is behind the application.
It is in the drop down window and I have it working so I would say (IMO) that it is in fact supported.
