Hi,

I am using Vbox on a mac
Installed archlinux_64  as guest and all works ok.  RAM : 2048MB
Installed vbox on the archlinux_64.

New Guest Settings -

ram :768MB
boot order : cd/dvd, hard disk
chipset : PIIX3

Video Mem : 128MB
Acceleration : 3D
Storage : IDE Secondary Master with iso
Controller : SATA
SATA Port : 0:     arch.vdi
Network : Bridged

New install archlinux problem

After I click  Boot Arch Linux (i686) loads image followed by:-

Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)……ok
early console in decompress_kernel

Decompressing Linux…Parsing ELF…Performing relocations..done.
Booting the kernel.
[  0.000000] tsc: Fast calibration failed

THAT IS AS FAR AS IT GOES.

Can’t find any solution on the web, any ideas. Thanks

Re: Install in vbox on arch in vbox

Is there any sane reason why you don't run the second (in your case nested) VM on the Mac host, too?

Nested virtualization isn't really supported in VirtualBox. It may or may not work, so do not expect a real solution. You can try to turn off I/O APIC in the nested guest, turn off 3D, use only 1 CPU etc.
