Description
I have VBox installed on Fedora 8 and running Win XP as the guest. I recently created a new VM and tried to install Centos as a guest and it would not install I then tried a copy of fedora and it stopped just after CPU detection with 'SMP motherboard not detected', I then tried XP which installed with out any problems. Just to check it was wasn't me or the media I installed VBox on an AMD Athalon box with Fedora 8 as Host and I was able to install both Centos and Fedora 7 as Guests.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
There's a bug in the linux kernel that prevents it from correctly recognizing the APIC on barcelona level AMD cpus (family 0x10). Enable the IO-APIC setting for the VM to work around it.
