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?

[root@io01 bin]# uname -a
Linux io01 2.6.9-42.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 23:32:02 EDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@io01 etc]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
[root@io01 etc]# cat /proc/cpuinfo
......
model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5150 @ 2.66GHz

My VB version is "VirtualBox-2.0.2-36488-Linux_amd64.run".

Could you open a ticket on our bug tracker?

Please attach the VBox.log of such a session and dmesg output.
