Morning all,
thanks to all who replied, I now have 64 bit guest OS running under
VirtualBox. The problem was, as so many pointed out, because
virtuali[zs]ation support was turned off in the BIOS. Once enabled, all
was well again.
Martin Bach asked "Is there a reason you don't use para-virtualisation?
Performance might be a lot better." - yes, I'm only playing with
virtuali[zs]ation at the moment and I'm too lazy! I tried Xen a while
back on OpenSuse and didn't get on with it very well. I then tried
VirtualBox 1.x and liked it a whole lot better so I've tended to stick
with it. I'm planning to try out Oracle's VM at some point so I may get
back into the Xen methodology anyway!
Once again, thanks everyone.
Cheers,
Norman.
