[SOLVED] CentOS 5.5 x64 guest on VB 3.2 Beta issues

Post by joker535 »

Has anyone else had issues with a CentOS 5.5 X64 guest on VB 3.2 Beta? The host is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 and a dual quad core xeon box with 8G of ram. I have a separate hard drive dedicated to VB.

The guest crashes randomly and is very slow. I have other guests including OXS 10.6.3, Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 SP2 that run fine. I have tested it with different hardware settings (1 to 8 cpu's with 1 to 4 G of ram and 20-30 G of HD space) and even re-downloaded the distro with no resolution. I have the VM set to use 64 bit Red Hat. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Bob
