  2. I start Sun VBox.
  3. I create a new VM.
  4. I install CEntOS 4.6 from the DVD image.
  5. I follow directions and install a CEntOS 4.6 into a logical VM 30 GB disk.
  6. The install process works properly until the end.
  7. Once it is completed, I reboot the VM, Then I change the boot order from DVD image to VM 30 GB hdd.
  8. I click on the start button to restart the CEntOS 4.6 VM.

When the VM is trying to boot, the CPU on the physical computer is used to 100%. Each cores of the CPU are sharing the load.

Thanks for the Good Job.

Please could you

  • retry the installation with VirtualBox 1.6.6 and/or VirtualBox 2.0.2 and then
  • attach the correct VBox.log file. You will find the file when going to the main selector window and selecting Machine / Show Log ...

I believe this is because PAE/NX is not enabled in advanced, general settings. I just had the same issue until I enabled PAE/NX.
