As > I recall it the suggestions were 'to install in text mode' Thanks for that idea. It didn't work, but it did tell me what's wrong. Somehow, the version of VirtualBox that I have doesn't actually support 64-bit VMs, even though it comes from an x86_64 RPM: # rpm -qa | fgrep VirtualBox VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.6_91406_fedora18-1.x86_64 But when I do start the install in text mode (and erase "quiet" from the kernel command line), the error message is that it's a 32-bit CPU and I'm trying to boot a 64-bit kernel. Is it actually possible to install a 64-bit VM in VirtualBox, and if so, where do I get a version that supports it? The one I got came straight from the Downloads page at virtualbox.org, and when creating the VM by pressing the New button, it doesn't give any "64 bit" choices, just "Fedora". --Greg -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
