Is 64 bit working or not?
Hey all, I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that's running OpenSuSE 12.2 64 bit:
Code:
jobee@Suba:~> uname -a Code:
Suba:/home/jobee # egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo Thanks, Joe B |

Litterally nothing? Have you tried a 32bit os, just to make sure it's specific to 64 bit operating systems? |

No, what i mean is; what happens when you try to boot the 64 bit os in Virtualbox?

cat /proc/cpuinfo |
@knightron, I haven't installed it because I don't get an option to install a 64 bit OS. On my desktop I've installed VirtualBox and when I go to create a new VM I get 64 bit options for OS installs.
@brianL Code:
jobee@linux-had2:~> cat /proc/cpuinfo Joe B |
Odd - very odd.
The virtualization extensions are strictly not related to 64-bit, although these days they can be considered synonymous. The "lm" options shows you have 64-bit hardware, but no vmx. Re-compile is unlikely to help I would think. What model CPU is that ?. |

As far as i can find the P6200 does not support any form of virtualization technologies. And therefore does not support 64bit virtual machines or any other form of resource sharing.
Source: http://ark.intel.com/products/50176/...Cache-2_13-GHz I am sorry to inform you that your BIOS played a dirty mindtrick on you leading you to believe VT-x can be enabled. Your best bet would be running 32 bit virtual machines, or getting a new CPU/System to run virtual machines on (since i am no fan of using non Virtualization supported systems with Virtual machines) |
Well, I did an OS reinstall hoping to say you are wrong but I can't. I checked out the Intel article and that just drove it home for me. Sounds like dual-booting will have to work after all.
Thanks everyone, Joe B |
