Can't install VM on PC with Intel E7400 CPU #198

Closed yysw closed 10 years ago

yysw commented 10 years ago

I have a desktop PC which purchased 5 yeas ago, the CPU is E7400 (SLB9Y) which does not support VT-X. The host OS is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, kernel 3.5.0-49-generic, with virtualbox 4.3 and vagrant 1.5.4 installed.

At first I encountered error "No VT-x or AMD-V CPU extension found. Reason VERR_VMX_MSR_LOCKED_OR_DISABLED", then I bypass this issue by uncheck "Enable PAE/NX" option on virtualbox GUI's processor setting page. After run vagrant up, the vm seems up but hanging on the " default: Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying..." stage and finally timed-out. The http://localhost:8888 can't be accessed.

Is it possible to install the vm on PC that does not have VT-X support? If yes, how can I install the vm? Thanks.

I solved this problem by using 32-bit VM instead of 64-bit, inspiring by #157 . Now the iPython book works fine. Thanks all.
