Hi,
Whenever I tried VirtualBox (even back in Fedora 11) it completly
locked up my machine as soon as powering up a VM.
I didn't care a lot, but now I am in trouble because I need it now and
VMware-Player refuses to install (waits forever in the
install-scripts) and VirtualBox crashes :/
I am now on Fedora-12 + updates testing, and I am using the VirtualBox
packages + kernel modules provided by Fedora/yum.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
In syslog I found this:
vboxdrv: Warning: 2.6.31+ kernel detected. Most likely the hardware
performance
vboxdrv: counter framework which can generate NMIs is active. You have to prevent
vboxdrv: the usage of hardware performance counters by
vboxdrv: echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid
However at least 2.6.32.10 doesn't seem to provide perf_counter_paranoid :(
Thank you in advance, Clemens
