Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 3.1.6-dfsg-2 Severity: important During booting there appear this message that could be related to the very very low performance of the system (so slow that it is impossible to work with it): [ 24.718446] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently... [ 24.718452] vboxdrv: Warning: 2.6.31+ kernel detected. Most likely the hardware performance [ 24.718454] vboxdrv: counter framework which can generate NMIs is active. You have to prevent [ 24.718456] vboxdrv: the usage of hardware performance counters by [ 24.718458] vboxdrv: echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid [ 24.725609] vboxdrv: Found 1 processor cores. [ 24.727187] vboxdrv: TSC mode is 'synchronous', kernel timer mode is 'normal'. [ 24.727191] vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 3.1.6_OSE (interface 0x00100001). Nevertheless I cannot do "echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_counter_paranoid" because this file does not exist in my computer. There is another one, though, "/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event/paranoid" .. If I change this last one, I cannot notice any better performance. Thank you very much !
