VMware Fusion 3 will be the first to enable the full Windows 7 experience, side-by-side with your Mac, complete with Windows Aero and Flip 3D.
#VIRTUALBOX 64 BIT SUPPORT MAC OS X#
Built from the ground up for the Mac, VMware Fusion 3 leverages Mac OS X Snow Leopard's advanced architecture with a new 64-bit core engine and native support for the 64-bit kernel, delivering even better Windows on Mac performance. VMware has a press release on their website that announces the release and availability of version 3.0 of Fusion, which brings 64-bit support along with other enhancements to the software.Īccording to the press release, Fusion 3.0 will bring more than 50 new features and enhancements, including the following: The three popular programs Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, and Sun VirtualBox have so far been 32-bit only and while Parallels Desktop will run on the 64-bit Snow Leopard kernel and Virtualbox technically should as well, Fusion is still only a 32-bit application. (But I think we now understand why, nothing to do with actual problem) Anteaus Posts: 19 Joined: 7.Since the release of Snow Leopard, many people who use virtualization solutions have been frustrated by the lack of 64-bit support for their virtual machines. The BIOS is already the latest.Ġ0:00:08.121093 ERROR : aRC=VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE (0x80bb0002) aIID=, preserve=false I've ordered another processor for the box with the problem running 4.3, and will see how it goes with that. So, forget the last post, don't think it has any bearing on the problem. If the OS type settings are correct, the setup proceeds. The issue here is that the capabilities reported to the guest seems to depend on the VM settings in a much more fine-grained manner than under 4.2 - I hadn't bothered changing these settings. Sep 2012, 16:35Īctually, I think that was a red herring. Was just thinking I could so some tests with a compiler to see what OS is reported, bitwise, under a running guest.

So, the problem seems to be not so much that the host cannot provide 64-bit support (it can and does) but that it is reporting itself as a 32-bit environment when interrogated by software setup routines. This happens both with Debian 7.5/64 and Windows 7/64.
#VIRTUALBOX 64 BIT SUPPORT INSTALL#
So, the hardware virtualization IS working on both boxes.īUT, if I try to INSTALL a 64-bit OS on a guest by booting from a Setup CD/DVD, the setup process reports that I am trying to install a 64-bit OS on a 32-bit computer. If I turn off hardware virtualization then neither guest will run, a 'no 64-bit support' message being shown, as would be expected on Virtualbox 4.3.x A tar'ed copy of the same Debian host's system partition also ran successfully on both hosts as a guest OS.
On further investigation, the issue is not quite what it seems.Ī prebuilt Windows XP 64 VM ran successfully on the Server 2003/32 host with Virtualbox 4.3.6 r91406 and also under a Debian 7.5/64 host with the same Virtualbox release. I was thinking of rolling VirtualBox back to 4.3.10 as is on the host that works, but decided just to ask if anyone has met this, and if there might be a simple answer before I start undoing the setup. I notice that on OS boot, the virtualbox service reports 'vboxpci: IOMMU not found' - not sure if this has any relevance. The BIOS supports hardware virtualization. Only other thing that might be an issue is that it's a rather dated AM2 processor. Basically the hardware MUST be 64-bit capable or it would not boot this kernel, surely? But, no 64-bit support in VirtualBox. Which is confirmed by looking in the /boot directory and at the /vmlinuz symlink. It runs Debian 64, and the kernel running is reported by uname -r as 3.2.0-4-amd64. The host (a recycled older server) has previously run 64-bit guests under VMWare. If I install a 64-bit guest OS regardless, it will refuse to boot complaining of no 64-bit kernel support. Virtualbox-4.3_4.3.14-95030~Debian~wheezy_bĮxisting VM host is on Debian 7.5 64 with Virtualbox 4.3.10 and gives no problems with 64 bit guests.īut, when setting up a second host as a standby with same OS and VirtualBox 4.3.14, I find that the only options for new guests are 32-bit ones.
