Io apic windows xp virtualbox

Anyway, like I said, lots of peoplehave had this problem, and there are lots of suggested ways of fixingit, like booting with the Windows Recovery Console and adjusting whichdrivers are loaded, using the 'repair' version of the registry and soforth. I tried most of them, and none worked. However, there was onesuggestion that seemed worth following through, and it was a variantof this that I finally got working. This registryhive contains all the information about your hardware that Windowsneeds to boot, so if you can get Windows booting in a VM then you canuse the corresponding SYSTEM registry hive to boot the recoveredinstallation.

At least that's the theory; in practice it needs a bitof hackery to make it work. You cannot access this filewhen the system is running. If you're doing thisyourself don't change the hive on your original VMyet. The system now booted into Windows. Well, almost — it bootedup, but then displayed an LSASS message about being unable to updatethe password and rebooted. This cycle repeats ad infinitum, even inSafe Mode. So far not so good. In theory, you should be able toupdate all three registry hives together, but then all your useraccounts get replaced, and I didn't fancy trying to get everything setup right again.

Class key values are hidden from normalregistry accesses, but Petter Nordahl-Hagen's registry editor can showthem to you. I notedthese down for later. The text should appear in a few places — one forthe subkey of ControlSet, one for the subkey of ControlSet, andso forth. A few bytes after one of the occurrences you should see asequence of 16 bytes that looks similar to the codes you wrote down:ASCII values for hex digits separated by spaces.

Do the same for the Data, JD and Skew1 values. Near theData values you should also see the same hex digit sequence withoutthe separating null bytes. Replace that too. Now look at the values inthe file near to where the registry key names occur to see if thereare any other occurrences of the original hex digit sequences andreplace these with the new values as well. Now for the moment of truth: boot the VM. If you've patched all thevalues correctly then it will boot into Windows.

In this case, try booting into the 'LastKnown Good Configuration'. This might work if you missed one of theoccurrences of the original values. If it still doesn't work, load thehive back into your hex editor and have another go. You'll need to re-activate WindowsXP due to the huge change in hardware, but this should be relativelypainless — if you enable a network adapter in the VMconfiguration then Windows can access the internet through your host'sconnection seamlessly.

Once that's done you can proceed with installthe VirtualBox guest additions to make it easier to work with the VM— mouse pointer integration, sensible screen resolutions, sharedfolders and so forth. Was it quicker than installing everything from scratch? The 3. The issue occurs long before I can even install the guest additions, during OS installation.

I will get you a logfile of that one ASAP. Do I have to re-install the additions after changing the HAL? The performance will not improve until you installed the guest additions and until they are active. I think it is not necessary to re-install the guest additions after you changed the HAL but it cannot hurt. Make sure to use 3. Ok, I installed the new HAL and re-installed the latest guest additions.

Then I started a new VirtualBox session so the log file I'll attach soon starts here , started Windows, and indeed the "full load while doing nothing" vanished some time after the additions were loaded, so something improved.

I also have the impression that the task-manager process list still flickers a tiny bit, but it's nothing compared to how it behaves without the work-around. At least it's now able to play the Windows shut-down sound without stuttering the start-up sound is of course still broken.

Any chance of a work-around which is independent of the guest doing some cooperation? However, I obviously don't understand anything of the internals of this issue. Since I don't use the VM that often it's not a big deal. It'd just be nice to be able to use both cores. Anyway, keep up the good work, and thanks a lot for making such a great open-source VM :.

Same problem here, trying to run guest Windows XP bit on host Kubuntu 9. Installing guest additions did not help in my case. Replying to ToddAndMargo :. I could try to lower the amount of RAM to MB just for testing purposes you never know , but eventually I want to run the guest using the entire gigabyte.

Replying to sandervl73 :. Well then, here you are. I'd also like to note that I had additions installed didn't help and switched settings on 2d and 3d acceleration dito. JeRa: your problem is completely different. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Windows XP Guest does not boot Migrate from VM by mpack » Thu Jun 16, am You don't have a hardening problem exit code is 0 , so please don't provide the hardening log unless we ask for one - though happily yours seems to compress very well. Hopefully you removed the VMWare guest tools already, since those will not work in other VM platforms. You'll need to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions.

I read this before, but in my previous migrations this had already been magically set, that's why I forgot it. Ask Question. Asked 12 years, 3 months ago. Active 10 months ago. Viewed k times.
