Hi,
in VBox it is mentiont, that after installing a Windows guest, changing the I/O Apic does't have an effect.
So now i wonder, if that is a general rule, or can I install a Ubuntu guest with turned of I/O and after that turn it on so I can adress more cores to that guest?
Is Linux kind of felxible that way?
Regards Albeck

Re: I/O Apic change in Linux (Ubuntu) Guest
Linux is very flexible. It doesn't care much for hardware changes unlike Windows. E.g. you can install Linux on a hard drive on your computer, put it in an entirely different system and it will still boot happily. I/O APIC is only a problem for Windows when you disable it after it was enabled. Linux doesn't care either way.
