Thought I'd weigh in because I guess this bug is still open even though the comments are from two years ago. Anyway, I am using the virtualbox package from Oracle and for the most part it works normally, I've had guests running for hours no problem. Every once in a while, though, I get the complete

Thanks for your advice PearZoo, it did not help. I found the equivalent module "asus_laptop" which handels the acpi-related stuff, and blacklisted it. furthermore, I tried the boot option "acpi=off", both no success. (total freeze at VM start) With the (host) boot options "noapic nolapic" I can

Try this: What worked for me was to blacklist the Toshiba ACPI module by putting this in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file blacklist toshiba_acpi You may not have a Toshiba nor use the toshiba-acpi, but perhaps the equivalent acpi module cause the same issues? Try and find which acpi mo

I have exactly the same Problem with my ASUS N90Sc Notebook as well, I found no way to do 64-bit virtualisation on Linux on this machine. I bet its a problem with the crap BIOS. I contacted ASUS support, but they say they have no Linux support on this device. I made already a BIOS update, becau

I solved this for me. The cause, garbage BIOS (ver. P08)from XFX for my 680iLT. I had to use the BIOS for the board above mine (ver P33). Once I flashed to P33 BIOS for this board, ALL is well. P07 does not have the best Wolfdale support. P33 has the best support. I had no idea I had to use a BIOS

Okay found the problem! It's the toshiba_acpi module, when loaded - all access to vt-x functionality will cause a system lock up. Without it loaded, all works beautifully. I will register this bug under toshiba_acpi -- starting virtual machine in virtualbox-ose freezes system https://bugs.laun

I have the same problem on a Toshiba Qosmio with Core2 Duo T7600 processor. Any use of the VT-x (VirtualBox or KVM causes a complete system lockup). If you install the KVM modules then the machine locks up during boot time. These options work perfectly when I boot into the 8.10 Kernel. -- start
