| #1792 | invalid | Documentation: remove misleading paragraph in UG Sec 9.9 | ||
| Description |
"With VirtualBox, this type of access is called “raw hard disk access”; it allows a guest operating system to access its virtual hard disk much more quickly than with disk images, since data does not have to pass through two file systems (the one in the guest and the one on the host)." Please remove this statement in future editions of the User Guide. It is rubbish. The code path for raw access is pretty much the same as VDI access. In extreme circumstances if the host filesystem is badly fragmented then yes they can be some performance degradation from using VDIs, but in some circumstances they can also work faster. In general, it's pretty much comparable, so it is a mistake to "hard sell" raw hard disk access in this way. |

| #1793 | worksforme | Blue Screen Stop error when enable AMD-V etc. | ||
| Description |
I am running Vista Home Basic with SP1 and Vbox 1.6.2. It works fine but when I try to install an OS that requires AMD-V etc. (such as eComStation) as soon as I check that box and start the guest OS the computer bluescrens with a Stop error. I was not able to copy down the error as it diksapeared quickly. Sorry. Thanks for your time. My laptop specs are: AMD Athlon 64 X2 with Vista Home Basic SP1 32Bit 2 Gig of Ram. I am not positive if my computer has AMD-V etc. others have said that it is included. Please see a copy of my bug ticket. Thanks. |

| #1794 | fixed | Host hibernation hang after runing Virtual Box with enabled VT-x -> fixed in SVN/2.2 | ||
| Description |
Similar to ticket #1408. Host PC: Notebook HP 9710p, Intel Core 2 duo processor, Windows XP Professional SP3, latest version of Virtual Box (1.6.2). If any guest machine is run with hardware virtualization on (VT-x/AMD-V enabled), the host PC fails to enter hibernation (even after shutting down all of the guest machines and closing Virtual Box). The symptoms are: Start > Shutdown, hibernate, the OS displays "Preparing to hibernate... " message, then the screen goes black and nothing happens. I tried to wait for 15 minutes and nothing happened, only thing to do at this moment is to power off the notebook and power on again. If the guest machines are run using software virtualisation only (VT-x/AMD-V disabled) everything works fine, and the host PC is able to hibernate. Tried with different guest machines, Windows XP SP2, Ubuntu, etc., all behaving the same way. |
