How do I run a 64-bit guest in VirtualBox?

                                      

环境：

   Host: Microsoft Windows XP Professional 版本 2002  Service Pack 3

   在VirtualBox中安装OracleLinux-R6-U3-Server-x64-dvd.iso64位系统

在启动虚拟机的时候遇到这个问题：

VT-x/AMD-Vhardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bitguest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.
Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-Vproperly in the BIOS of your host computer.

上网找了下，在这里找到了解决方法：

        How do I run a 64-bit guest in VirtualBox?

1.     Make sure you've selected the 64-bit version of your Linuxdistribution in the wizard while creating the guest.

2.     Ifyou don't get any output, you're not able to run a 64-Bit OS as guest insideyour VirtualBox. But don't forget to check your BIOS settings. You might beable to activate these AMD-V/VT-x features inside the BIOS of your computer.

3.     And finally there's a checkbox insidethe VirtualBox-Settings. Start VirtualBox, select the virtual machine where youwant to run your 64-Bit OS and go into the settings of this VM. Look for"Settings -> System -> Acceleration" and make sure that"Enable VT-x/AMD-V" is activated.

原因：

       为了在VirtualBox上面运行64位的系统，cpu必须支持虚拟化（virtualization）。这个技术在amd的cpu上称为AMD-V，在intel的cpu上称为VT-x。

相关方面知识在维基百科上有详细解释。

 

解决：

       重启HOST主机，进入BIOS，然后在CPU相关参数的那一部分找到一个类似 虚拟化技术 或 virtualization 之类的选项，然后把它置为 Yes 或者True，然后保存退出，启动。然后再启动64位虚拟机就ok了！
