Virtualbox 3 Seems Very Buggy
July 6th, 2009It could just be me but I’m having lots of problem using Virtualbox 3 that was released on June 30th.
I already had Fedora 11 installed in a virtual machine but upon upgrading to Virtualbox 3 I could no longer boot then machine. It took about 5 attempts to reinstall fresh machine with various errors about my laptop not having the VT-x hardware virtualization support (not true), random freezes and some problem related to ext4 as shown here in this screenshot.
I’ve also tried to install Mandriva LinuxOne 2009.1. This seemed to install OK but upon rebooting it tried to check for updates and then just hung finally. After a hard reset it gave this error but at least all seems to OK now.
As I said I could just be unlucky but if this continues I’ll have to go back to an older version and wait until the problems are ironed out.
