64 bit iso's reboot my system

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Host: CentOS 5.4 i386

When I set up a VM for Fedora 64 bit and try to boot Fedora-12-x86_64-Live.iso or Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso, my entire system reboots. :'(

Add CentOS-5.4-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso to the list of rebooters

Is that a 3.1.4 regression (that is, did this work for you on the very same host with VBox 3.1.2)?

[ToddAndMargo]

This has always been the case. Sorry for taking so long to report it.

Could you attach a VBox.log file from any 64-bit guest which does not reboot your host?

Replying to frank:

All 64 bit hosts I have tried reboot my system. So does the 64 bit live CDs (Fedora-12-x86_64-Live.iso).

Interesting question is if your host operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit and which processor it has. If this is a 32-bit host and it has an Intel processor then the chances are high that this is a duplicate of #6166.

Please reopen if this is NOT a duplicate of #6166 (see my previous comment).
