On the 32GB Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz system, yesterday's rsync f19 VMr install successfully installed OpenDesktop 5.07 from a CDROM image. The only problem was the inability to access NFS shares on the local machine.
From today's rsync I did another fresh install. (Pxeboot install over a gigabyte local net is convenient and fast!) This time the VM install stalled after the "Booting from DVD/CD" message, consuming 100 per cent of one of the 8 CPUs.
Meanwhile, VirtualBox-4.2.12-84980-Linux_amd64.run installed without problems today and installed OpenDesktop without issues. I didn't check today, but yesterday OpenDesktop was able to mount an NFS share on the host machine.
On the 6 GB Core Duo e6500 machine, VM install stalled ina video init script. VirtualBox worked normally on that machine also.
Any reason you are using VirtualBox instead of Fedora's own qemu/KVM solution? This is the wrong list for fixing VirtualBox bugs.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my posting. I am not reporting problems with VirtualBox. VirtualBox (from the .run file) is working fine for installing and running OpenDesktop 5.07. Even bridging works, allowing me to open NFS shares on the machine it is running on.
The problems are with the Fedora virtual machine manager which is installed with "yum install @virtualization". (Except that that Yum command often doesn't install some KVM functions.)
