Brad House "Under SCO OpenServer 6.0.0, the NIC(s) are not detected as it appears there is an issue reading the PCI Bus provided by VirtualBox. The OS works under VMWare Server 1.0.8, VMWare Fusion 2.0.4, and somewhat under Linux KVM (NICs are detecting during install, but can't boot the OS afterwards due to other issues). Here's all the information I can provide: VirtualBox 3.0.10 Guest Settings: * OS: Other * Version: Other/Unknown * Base Memory Size: 512MB * 10GB Dynamic Disk - PIIX4 - IDE Primary Master * Net1: PCnet-Fast III (Am79C973) - nat * Net2: PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A) - nat * Net3: Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC) * Net4: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) * ACPI: On * IOAPIC: Off * CPUs: 1 * PAE/NX: Off * VT-X/AMD-V: On * Nested Paging: On * USB: On * USB2 (EHCI): On Host: * AMD Phenom II X4 940 * 8GB DDR2 RAM * Gentoo Linux amd64 NIC detection fails during installation of SCO OpenServer 6.0.0, only allows you to choose non-detectable ISA NICs. Not a single one of the 4 configured NICs is detected, yet all 4 I believe are actually supported by SCO 6. The rest of the installation goes through as expected. Upon reboot after installation, it detects the hard disk as Generic IDE, possibly suggesting it can't detect the IDE controller on the PCI bus either, and is in compatibility mode. The current theory I have is that SCO OpenServer 6 cannot enumerate the VirtualBox PCI Bus for some reason, and the stuff that does work, works strictly through fallbacks (possibly BIOS calls for disk access?). To list the PCI bus on SCO OpenServer 6.0.0, you run `hw -r pci`, and the output of that running under VirtualBox is: {{{ # hw -r pci Report about PCI for scosysv on Wed Nov 11 14:46:55 2009 # }}} Obviously, it looks like SCO OpenServer 6.0.0 just can't read the bus... now, if you run the same command on the same OS, but instead running under VMWare Fusion 2.0.4, you get a report that is over 1000 lines long, I'll attach it to this ticket. I'm also going to attach my VBox.log and VBox.log.1 for completeness. Thanks! " defect closed network VirtualBox 3.0.10 fixed SCO other other
