Hi, If I try to run Windows 7 and another Linux 2.6 OS, both with AMD-V enabled in the Advanced options, eventually at some point I lose mouse focus (the mouse cursor hangs inside the Linux VM, keyboard becomes unresponsive).
The rest of the system keeps "working" (host is Linux, Fedora 10 with latest patches), as I can see the GMail window in the background being updated with new emails in the inbox, but evetything slows to a crawl until a point where Gmail starts displaying the "cannot connect to server". I tried to connect over SSH from another system in my home LAN and SSH disconects with ¨signal 9¨ whatever that means. Then my hanged system appears to be in a complete lockup so only a power reset can bring it back. Any ideas of what might be going on?. I´m pretty sure my Opteron 2216 supports AMD-V but not so sure (I guess not) about Nested Paging. Although I have nested paging disabled. The two instances when this "hard lockup-mouse freezing" incident happened, I was running a version of 32-bit Vista+ windows OS alongside a Linux 2.6 VM. The first instance it was Win7 beta alongside Fedora Core 9 in another VM The second instance (today) it was Windows Vista Starter Ed. and gOS 3.1 Linux. I never experienced this kind of hard lockup when running two instances of Windows concurrently (say, XP64 and Win7). My CPU is a very early OEM release of the 2216, and perhaps amd-v microcode wasnt debugged properly? or perhaps this is just (hopefully) a VBox/Linux kernel bug? Anyone noticing this kind of hard lockups/freezing with multiple VMs on an AMD-V enabled Opteron? Any ideas will be appreciated....
