Many thanks!
So far I had a short ride but vbox fails every time after the first try.
If the following can help you debug/improve, read on, otherwise I'll just
wait for a more stable version. If you want me to test anything or send
crash dump, please let me know.
- Running 7.2-STABLE i386 as of Thu May 14 19:28:42 CEST 2009 on Dell
Precision M4300 notebook (Intel T7500 Core-2 Duo, 2.2GHz VT-x enabled,
3 GB RAM)
- /proc is mounted
- Downloaded vbox port yesterday evening (~ 18:50 UTC)
- make -s install clean (watch many qt4 dependencies, dev86 and vbox
install)
- kldload vboxdrv (OK, even with X running)
- $ VirtualBox
- Created a guest with 512MB RAM, 2GB IDE pri master disk
- Could not choose bridged network, so fell back to NAT
- Installed FreeBSD 7.1 from 7.1 release DVD iso, feels very good, nice
performance!
- Could not NFS mount anything, vbox NAT translates NFS client to
unprivileged port
- Wanted to add second virtual disk to hold /usr/src and /usr/obj so
stopped vbox, added virtual disk and tried to restart guest many
times, no luck
- Rebooted computer
- kldload vboxdrv (with X11 running), system panics
- Reboot and load vboxdrv from loader works
- Trying to start existing vbox guest always fails, sometimes with error
popup:
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_PDM_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {a7f17a42-5b64-488d-977b-4b2c639ada27}
but mostly I only see the console window appear and disappear within
a second (/var/log/messages: pid 1283 (VirtualBox), uid 2506: exited
on signal 11
- Creating a new guest (in case disk image of old guest is damaged)
never starts (shows same symptoms as original guest)
Thanks again for all the good work!
