Hi,

I was experiencing some issues when trying to install Netware 6.5 on Virtualbox but I got it now. The settings I tried:

  • mounted freedos boot floppy image fd32e.img (avoid int 13 error)
  • boot cd = Netware 6.5 sp6 iso 1
  • configured fixed disk 4.88 GB
  • configured 512 MB RAM
  • configured 4 MB VIDEO MEMORY

I started the Netware 6.5 install and > default install >File copy .. > hwdetect issue with AMD ... testing further to get Netware running on Virtualbox

Any changes in 1.5.2?

Core problem is gone. As "citral" said: Good Job!

But Netware still fails. Reopening.

Host : VBox 1.6.2, Windows XP SP2, Intel Core 2 Q6600. Guest: Novell Netware 6.5

Instead of looping, VM now halts with error message. VBox Log and VM screenshots attached.

Good news: Problem only happens with PAE=off. Setup proceeds successfully with PAE=on.

2 Mini Bugs found - both are about new VM creating for Netware guests:

  1. Default settings for Netware guest must have PAE=on
  2. Default settings for Netware guest must have RAM=512

Below 512 MB of RAM - Netware refuses to install.

Still relevant? There are several other defects with Netware problems, so I'll close this old one for now.
