Host PC (Windows 7 32Bit) reboots if you install a 64Bit Windows 7 when the host PC uses PAE — at Version 8

Reported by: Andre.Ziegler Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 4.1.4

Guest type: Windows Host type: Windows

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

If I run VB (I tried 4.0.12 and 4.1.2) on a 32Bit Windows 7 with a PAE Patched Kernel [1] to use more memory and try to install a 64Bit Windows 7 as guest, the host PC suddenly reboots after the "Loading Windows files" finished at start of the Windows 7 setup. VMWare Player has no issues to run a 64Bit guest on a 32Bit PAE enabled host.

If I run the normal kernel everything is fine.

I attach 2 logs, 1 where it works and the other where the host simply reboots.

Also doesn't work in 4.1.7.r75040.

Are you still interested in fixing this or not? If not, I can delete the 32Bit Windows.

Yes, we are interested in fixing this bug but we cannot reproduce this problem, therefore not that high priority.
