Haiku on a virtual machine (from the RAW image)

Forum thread started by Minoru on Fri, 2007-05-25 12:51

Trying to install Haiku on my virtual machine from the RAW HDD image:
sudo dd if=haiku.image of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=104857600 #100 * 1024^2
from Linux, but
PANIC: Unexpected exception "General Protection Exception" occured in kernel mode!

Welcome to Kernel Debugging Land...

occurs. What's wrong? (using InnoTek VirtualBox as vm) May be, vm running problems or memory allocation bugs? :(
What's to do? :(

I've run Haiku in "Q" (qemu wrapper, I believe) on MacOSX/PPC, but I've never tried VirtualBox.

Haiku has run successfully in VirtualBox once:

And it's been reported that it doesn't anymore:

You probably have to be a kernel coder to help debug/improve Haiku so that it can run in VirtualBox, but feel free to try it with different configurations and see if any one works, or even crashes differently. That could be a source of information. This could also be due to a problem within VirtualBox, but it's most likely just something which is different from what Haiku expects, making it crash.

rename the disk image with a *.img extension,attach it to your primary disk.
