install in V for me was fine, I have full cpu virt on my intel quad core. But random crashes in the system all the time. Move mouse... lockup... move window.. lock up. not all the time, might work fine for 10 minutes then lock up... might work fine for 1 minute and lock up.

I'm guessing there is some wild pointers going on underneath

VirtualBox is not a good choice if your BIOS doesn't support Virtualization technology.


I understand, thats why I said I had full cpu virt. I have VT-x and VT-d in virtual box enabled in my intel cpu. I run lots of virtual box stuff (dual cpu windows 2000, xp, dual core freebsd, netbsd, linux, haiku) with no problem whatsoever, all with fast speed, bridged ethernet and between 1-3gb of memory per vm.

Icaros under virtual box was very flakey, the only times anything on virtualbox gave me issues.

I have quad core with 8gb ram on 64bit linux.
