ERRORS: Window Vbox not installing any Linux.

Post by ProgramerJutsuLinux »

I created my VM and mounted Linux "Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-Desktop" from fedoraproject
I start my virtual macine and get an error saying "bla bla optimized for 32 bit, bla , set to 24 bit, press ok "
Fedora setup runs, to where i get the 2 options. "Troubleshoot" , "Start Fedora"
I press enter to start fedora and it us unresponsive.

Currently i have found nothing on youtube that talks about this issue and i am curious if I'm the only one(doubtful)
I run windows 7.
I did try to reinstall VM but it is doing the same as it did before
I tried installing Ubuntu , which also failed but gave me more detailed error messages. "This kernel requires looking for Xx86-64 bit CPU, but only detected an i 686 CPU"

How do i resolve this issue?
Thanks.



I am looking at the 32 bit fedora and it says i686 ver. Under "my computer" it says i have a 64 bit system. who woulda guessed

Your CPU must support hardware virtualization and it must be enabled in bios to run 64-bit guests
