I was disappointed to find out that I could not run VBox under a Xen kernel. I''m guessing support for this is on the roadmap. Any idea of a time frame? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Also I can''t boot xVM under VBox. Has this been supported?

Really? I am using virtual box 2.0.2 on 64 bit onnv_101 host. But I still can''t get 64 bit support. Do I need any extra operations to get this?

It would be best to ask in their forums at http://forums.virtualbox.org/.> On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 4:53 PM, David Edmondson <dme@sun.com> wrote: > > On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 04:16:14PM +0800, Lu Baolu wrote: > >> On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 4:00 PM, David Edmondson <dme@sun.com> wrote: > >> > On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 10:32:35AM +0800, Lu Baolu wrote: > >> >> Also I can''t boot xVM under VBox.

You need AMD-V or intel VT-X capable processor. To enable 64bit guests you simply enable VT-x/AMD-V Chris Lu Baolu wrote:> Really? I am using virtual box 2.0.2 on 64 bit onnv_101 host.
