I put a lot of time and effort into this earlier in the year using vbox 1.3.6 and 1.3.8. The developers didn't seem to find the subject interesting (which is a pity given that innotek have done so much excellent work for the OS2 community over the years). There was some commercial interest in using Warp Server as a vbox HOST, but none in running any flavour of warp as a GUEST. I have several different warp systems - warp 4 FP17, ecs 1.1, ecs 1.2, warp server. I tried booting from real floppies, floppy images on disk, installer from CD and live system from CD (and CD images from disk). The results varied between hopeless and very nearly successful. I also tried VMware - but that was completely hopeless. I tried QEMU and got very close to something that worked. I think the problems are related to the simulated BIOS and devices, but didn't have time to do any serious diagnosis. I did try LOTS of options with the QEMU bios package, but again didn't get lucky. In my opinion, everything you google about OS2 and virtual machines is out of date - the VM products have moved on and left OS2 behind... and not working. I'm using an ASUS motherboard and intel core 2 duo. Symptoms are different with and without VT support enabled, but it doesn't work for me either way. I haven't given up, but am not sure when I will be able to spend a significant amount of time on the problem. Let me know if you get any further! _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
