Running vBox under Mac OS X 64 bit mode

Well, this is not scientific but it is true - ok it might alos be a known issue.

I recently configured my iMac DualCore to run Snow Leopard in 64 bit mode.

However, this makes vbox crash with a Win XP SP3 vmachine - as in reboot completely. No warning. No sorry.

Changed the config back to 32 start up mode and NO CRASH at all.

I dont know if this is a know issue or anything, but I thought that I might share this.

Regards

Max

Which version of VirtualBox is that? IIRC there was a fix for 64-bit MACs in VBox 3.1.6 ...

Ok, so that is indeed worth to report. Could you open a bug report at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker please? Thank you!
