Hi,

I wan't to install Fedora Core 3 in virtual box 5.1.18 (windows 7 x64) because I need to complile some programs for a very old platform.

The system have installed well, but it cannot start ok, the Guru Meditation start.

I attach log a nd png file

Can anybody help me?

Thanks.

Follow a "start the VM from cold-boot"/"observe error"/"shutdown the VM" cycle. With the VM shut down completely (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log". Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).

Also, please tell me where I can get a copy of "Fedora Core 3" so I can test it. If you can't post a URL, either obfuscate it or describe the steps to get it.

IIRC Core 3 have a condition with the kernel that produced a race condition and was very hard to get to work properly and that was on really old VirtualBox. No telling about today. I will also try to get time to test later today if I don't run into too many road blocks.

Decided to test this while drinking my morning coffee. Anyway I had to disable nested paging and change the virtual drive to IDE instead of SATA. Without those changes it would panic and fail.
I left everything else at default but I did increase the drive size to make sure that would not cause an issue. Other than that I have no idea how the performance will be nor what to expect if you need additional packages. The OS is obsolete and well....

Oh and for completion I installed the 64-bit version. Depending on the program you compile ( 32-bit or 64-bit ) you will need to decide which bit you need since in those days there was no idea of multi-arch.
