FreeBSD 9.1 Virtualbox 64bit guest problem

oliwiak82 · Mar 30, 2013

Hello,

I have installed Virtualbox (4.1.22_OSE r80657) on host ~~freebsd9.1~~ FreeBSD 9.1 64bit. Now I would like to run a 64bit virtual guest however I have a problem with running it.

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature.

Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer.

Code:

VT support is enabled in the BIOS and works fine under Windows. Logs from the machine in attachments.

Any support would be nice. Thanks.

Please put files you want people to see on a public-accessible web site like pastebin.com.

When you created the VM, did you specify it as a FreeBSD 64-bit guest?

Hello Sir,

How did you install VirtualBox? And why the older version?

I have installed it with [CMD=""]pkg_add -r virtualbox-ose[/CMD] and [CMD=""]pkg_add -r virtualbox-ose-kmod[/CMD]

I also had to export package source due the (http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html) to :

[CMD=""]setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.si.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/Latest/[/CMD]

Not sure if I can help, but AFAIK if you want to have the latest version of a given application you'd better install it using ports, not packages.

Strangely enough the port (http://www.freebsd.org/ports/) seem to provide the same version you installed, even though at http://www.freshports.org/emulators/virtualbox-ose/ it's written that virtualbox-ose 4.2.6 is available (again not the latest version).
Since it's not an ufficial site you'd better wait until someone else confirms the reliability of that source.

Hopefully @wblock@ or other more experienced users will be able to help you more.

The current version in ports is 4.2.6. Of course, if you are using an old ports tree, there are numerous steps in /usr/ports/UPDATING that should be done before trying to install it. See Upgrading FreeBSD Ports for an overview.

Let me update ports and then compile Virtualbox. But I don't think this is a version problem.

I found the problem. It was a wrong BIOS setup at the end. Enabling virtualization support for Dell Latitude E6400 :

Code:

In the Virtualization Support tree:
    - Virtualization, select Enable, Apply
    - VT for Direct I/O Access, select Enable, Apply
    - Trusted Execution, do NOT select Enable <----------- (in my case this was enabled)

Thanks for all help and effort.
