Proxmox as a Virtualbox vm

[Stefano]

Hi all

I'm trying to install proxmox as a VM into virtualbox 4.0.4 justo for testing (I have no spare machine atm)

the problem is that when I start from cd to setup I get:

"this kernel requires an x86-64 cpu, but only detected an i686 cpu"

strange enough as I'm usong ubuntu 10.04 64bit.

my cpu:

stefano@stefano-laptop:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'model name'
model name : Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4400 @ 2.20GHz
model name : Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4400 @ 2.20GHz

and from here:
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=40739

I can see it's a 64bit cpu..

my kernel:
stefano@stefano-laptop:~$ uname -a
Linux stefano-laptop 2.6.32-30-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 1 21:30:46 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

so, what's wrong?

TIA
regards
Stefano

never tried this in virtualbox but it look like your virtualbox VM is not providing 64-bit? take a deeper look on the VM definitions, maybe you can find a setting.

after a little research I've found that my cpu does not support hardware-virtualization which is needed to be able to use 64 bit guests in VirtualBox.

sad :-(

Thank you
