If it is indeed incomplete, that means a really bad news for us.

I searched in FAQ and saw someone reported that virtualbox could run faster when hardware VT-x was disabled. Not sure what guest did they run. If software virtualization is incomplete, how can software virtualization run faster than the hardware virtualization?</pre><pre style="white-space: normal;">Thanks,</pre><pre style="white-space: normal;">Louis</pre><pre style="white-space: normal;"><br></pre><pre style="white-space: normal;">Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 11:39:46 +0200<br>From: Alexey Eromenko <al4321@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: [vbox-dev] Virtualbox without VT-x crashes when running<br>Android<br>To: "VirtualBox developer's list" <vbox-dev@virtualbox.org><br></pre><pre style="white-space: normal;">I can explain, but you won't like the explanation.

<div dir="ltr">Hi Vbox developers,<div><br></div><div>We are experiencing some crashes when we run Android X86 with Vbox on a system without VT-x. The App we run contains ARM code, so we add libhoudini to the VM (just like what AndroidVM does). When we start the App, Vbox crashes. If we turn on VT-x, it seems everything is just fine. Can anyone explain what happened here?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Louis</div> </div></div> </div></body>
