VirtualBox Wierdness
I had a very strange experience with VirtualBox tonight.
I play with VirtualBox a lot, because it enables me to learn stuff. The strange events I refer to happened under Mageia v. 7 on an x86-64 system.
Tonight, I tried to start several of my VMs, and they would not start, complaining that they needed a 64-bit kernel, but could only see a 32-bit kernel (i686).
I mucked around for a bit, listening to some Old Time Radio mystery shows on one of my favorite OTR sites, then tried again, and the VMs started just fine.
I did nothing to my VB configuration other than just look at it, to no avail, and wait, nor did I do any system updates (I did run urpmi --auto-update and it told me that my system was up-to-date). I have used VB for years and have not encountered anything like this before.
I am well and truly kerfuffled.
Did VB experience a temporary memory blackout or what?
