<font face="Verdana">I was curious and decided to test installing
the 32 bit Win8 on a 64 bit host (Ubuntu-10.10 x86_64) with no
VT-x<br>
It fails. It does work installing the 32 bit on a 64 bit host
(Debian-7) with VT-x.<br>
Only thing I notice is that is different is *no VT-x and IO APIC
causing an issue for me.<br>
<br>
I was amazed to see a Win8 32bit version to tell you the truth.
All I have been hearing is it would be 64Bit only.<br>
But I wonder if this is a real regression since the VBox forum is
saying pretty much the same thing on a released version.<br>

The error occurs randomly, which never happened
before. My hd is highly fragmented, only have
enough free space to hold about 8GB for the new

<br>
I will test Linux version on the same hd to
compare.<br>

the trim feature does not depend on the

trying to install Windows 8 to vdi
image, and it fails randomly. Seems
<br>
recent code changes have introduced
a bug to vdi. <br>
It stops at some random percentage
of Windows expanding phase,25%, 96%,
<br>
etc. It never succeeded, tried 5
times with today's SVN code. <br>
vmdk/vhd works fine. <br>
