#3538 closed defect (invalid)

VT-x enabled in BIOS, undetected by VBox

Reported by: therion Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 2.1.4
Keywords: vt-x Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description

Using 32 bit Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, Intel Core 2 Dui E6850; cannot install 64 bit Ubuntu guest (complains about lack of 64 bit CPU).

I have VT-x enabled in the BIOS and in the guest settings in the GUI, but VBox cannot apparently detect it.

VMWare successfully hosts 64 bit Ubuntu guests on this system. /proc/cpuinfo shows the smx flag is enabled when running same.

Replying to therion:

Obviously did not have 64 bit enabled for the guest; changed guest to Ubuntu (64 bit).

Not a bug, just dumb user error.
