Can't install Debian Squeeze into Virtualbox 4.2.10 ...

Post by pala »

on Debian Squeeze.

:cry: Hello everybody, I got :x searching the cause of my troubles. No I landed here, being my last resort.

It is the same problem as described here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=54761
but on another OS.

I succeeded in setting up another box on an AMD+Squeeze platform, but failed repeatedly to do so on my
other box Intel+Squeeze.

I tried to install squeeze and wheezy into the virtualbox versions provided by:
- the normal package manager / repositories
- backports
- oracle repository

but the following installation of the guest OS, be it squeeze or wheezy fails even though I picked the amd64
iso-files.

Specs:

$ uname -a
Linux atom 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 25 00:26:11 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

RAM: Total 2GB; Wheezy runs happily as a guest on another VM with 786MB {dedicated}

I am really lost. Hopefully the log file I attached is of help.

Yours in awesome thanks,
Benjamin

You are allocating more RAM to the guest than you have available.

Your CPU does not support VT-x/AMD-v, hence you cannot run 64bit guests.


I suggest you try to free up some host RAM somehow, set the VM to 512MB, and install a 32bit version of Debian Squeeze.
