Description (last modified by )
Hello, I'd like to report that neither NetBSD 5.0.1 nor 5.0 installs on VirtualBox 3.0.10 on Linux host. Everything breaks exactly like in ticket #3947 - weird as it says it's been fixed in 3.0.6 I've tried everything like Zplay and nothing helps. Neither choosing different NetBSD installation options nor changing VM Guest options like ACPI, IO APIC, PAE/NX. FreeBSD boots and installs just fine - I heven't tried OpenBSD. The OS is Debian testing on Samsung NC10 (intel Atom N270, 2GB ram)

Same here, with vBox on Windows Vista on Dell Vostro 1510 (Core 2 Duo T5670, 4GB RAM). Tried doing every toggling combination of Guest options like ACPI, IO APIC, PAE/NX. The problem has not been resolved (in contrast to closed ticket #3947). There has been no problem of installing NetBSD 5.0.1 on Parallels.
Btw, we should add real NetBSD support into our list of supported guest OSes (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes). NetBSD isn't even on that list.

| Summary: | NetBSD 5.0.1 won't install on VirtualBox 3.0.10 r54097 → NetBSD 5.0.1 won't install with software virtualization |
Ticket #3947 described a fix for VT-x/AMD-V. To install BSD a host with either VT-x or AMD-V is required. It will not work with software virtualization as BSD does some strange things in interrupt handling which can't be handled by VirtualBox. So, please check that your host CPU has VT-x or AMD-V available. The CPU of bbartlomiej (Atom N270) does not support VT-x.


Same here, on 3.0.8 (OSE, Ubuntu 9.10)
