Windows 2000 guest doesn't start

[vlabmichl]

After I upgraded from 3.0.6 to 3.1.0 I can't bring up an existing Windows 2000 machine.

After the Windows 2000 startup screen with the progressbar disappears I get an blue screen with a "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" error.

I tried booting in standard as well as in all save modes without success. Also rebooting the Mac OS X (10.5.8) host didn't help.

Because I needed this guest I tried reinstalling 3.0.6. That worked to bring the VM up again...but I still can't use it under 3.1.0.

Same problem with W2K guest on a C2D iMac host with OS 10.6.2.

The solution I've found is to uncheck System > Acceleration > Activate VT-x/AMD-V.

Even though, launching the W2K VM is very slow.

Can you try 3.2.0 ?

Hi!

I tried W2K guest on C2D iMac with Mac OS 10.6.3 with the new release 3.2.0.

Everything runs fine and smoothly with System > Acceleration > Activate VT-x/AMD-V checked or unchecked.

Best regards,

Hej,

I finally upgraded to VirtualBox 3.2.4 yesterday and ported the critical Windows2000 VM right now. After some tests I would agree that this bug has been definetly fixed.

Thanks!
