Okay, based on everything I've been able to find out, from here and othe = resources, this should work: VBoxManage createvm --basefolder /vm/1 --register --ostype Linux26_64 = --name vbox.hub.org VBoxManage modifyvm vbox.hub.org --memory 512 --nic1 bridged = --bridgeadapter1 igb0 --ioapic on VBoxManage createhd --filename /vm/1/vbox.hub.org/hdd0.vdi --size 20000 VBoxManage storagectl vbox.hub.org --name "IDE Controller" --add ide VBoxManage storageattach vbox.hub.org --storagectl "IDE Controller" = --port 0 --device 0 --type hdd --medium /vm/1/vbox.hub.org/hdd0.vdi VBoxManage storageattach vbox.hub.org --storagectl "IDE Controller" = --port 0 --device 1 --type dvddrive --medium = /vm/ISO/CentOS-5.4-x86_64-cPanel.iso VBoxHeadless --startvm vbox.hub.org --vnc --vncport 5901 --vncpass pass I still get the 'Your CPU does not support long mode' =85 and I've = triple checked, and the "Intel=AE Virtualization Technology" Setting is = enabled in the BIOS (PhoenixBIOS, Supermicro Motherboard) =85 I've just = found / enabled something called 'Intel VT for Directed I/O' as well =85 = just in case ... System is running FreeBSD 7-STABLE (a bit old, Apr 26th kernel) =85 checking vBox.log, I do see: grep -i VT VBox.log 00:00:01.075 HWACCM: No VT-x or AMD-V CPU extension found. Reason = VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED Now, I did find: = http://news.metaparadigma.de/win-oracle-virtualbox-workaround-for-initiali= zation-issue-3395/ Which pretty much points everything to the BIOS =85 so I'm looking at = potential BIOS upgrades for the server to see if that will correct it =85 But, is there anything wrong with what I've done above for setting up = the VBox VM? some switch that I should be setting that isn't =85 ?
