Unstable virtualization

On the 32GB Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz system, yesterday's rsync f19 VMr install successfully installed OpenDesktop 5.07 from a CDROM image. The only problem was the inability to access NFS shares on the local machine. From today's rsync I did another fresh install. (Pxeboot install over a gigabyte local net is convenient and fast!) This time the VM install stalled after the "Booting from DVD/CD" message, consuming 100 per cent of one of the 8 CPUs. Meanwhile, VirtualBox-4.2.12-84980-Linux_amd64.run installed without problems today and installed OpenDesktop without issues. I didn't check today, but yesterday OpenDesktop was able to mount an NFS share on the host machine. On the 6 GB Core Duo e6500 machine, VM install stalled ina video init script. VirtualBox worked normally on that machine also. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX caf(a)omen.com www.omen.com Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 503-614-0430
