Unable to start Kubuntu VM with AMD-V

[riker]

I upgraded the Virtualbox from v1.6.0 to v1.6.2, and tried to enable the AMD-V to test a issue which I reported as the ID#1510. I found the AMD-V feature is not stable. I active the VM 4 times and only one time is success. The system environment I used aer sumarized as below.

Host System : Windows XP SP3. Virtualbox : v1.6.2 Guest System: Kubuntu v7.10

Did you start all VM's in parallel? What exactly happened? VM state changed to 'aborted' or some error dialog?

Thanks very much for your reponse. I only start one VM. The sytem would become no response and the screen is blank for a long time. After 3~5 minutes, I close the window to terminated the VM. If you need more tests, I will help do it.

Fixed in SVN. I can give you a test build if you're interested, but it will have to wait until next week.

If I can give any help, I would like to do it. Virtualbox is a good software. Its support and response is pretty good. It is better than other open source project I had joined. Thanks!

Is the update included in the Virtualbox 1.6.4? I had run the same test in the Virtualbox 1.6.4 and update the results in issue #1934.

See #1934 as well.

I upgraded the Virtualbox from v1.6.2 to v1.6.4, and tried to enable the AMD-V to test a issue which I reported as the ID#1721. I run the test 5 times. I found the VM would not start successfully in the two rounds of the 5 tests. The log information is uploaded in issue #1934.

Please try again with a later version and reopen if necessary. AMD-V should be fine with 2.0.2.

I upgrade Virtualbox to 2.0.2 and test the original issue 10 times. All are okay. This issue is fixed. Thank you very much.
