VirtualBox crashed linux host while installing 64 bit guest!
Posted: 15. Sep 2008, 16:11
Hello, guys, I have tried VirtualBox 2.0.0 and 2.0.2 to install 64 bit guest systems on my 64 bit host systems. But none is successful. Following the User Manual of VB, I have enabled the Virtualization in BIOS and chosen to enable VT-x for my Intel cpu. It seems that there is nothing more I can do. But each time I start the installing process, VB crashed my host linux system and I have to restart my computer. Anyone can give me some advice?
