View Full Version : [ubuntu] VirtualBox Error with VT-x/AMD-V after suspend

When I suspend Intrepid-amd64 box and then awaken it again, VBox doesn't run my 64-bit guest VM and gives this error:

VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.
Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer.
I rebooted and entered my BIOS. All my virtualization options are set to enable. If I totally power down my system, then boot into Linux, the problem is gone and the 64-bit VM works just fine. If I just reboot, the problem is not solved and the 64-bit VM does not work giving that error. This problem starts when the machine gets suspended and then awakened. Upon waking up, the symptoms I described above occur and they survive a reboot! Again, the only cure seems to be a power down then startup again (cold boot).

Can anyone suggest why this might be happening? Are they any logs I can look into to help trouble-shoot?

Can anyone else out there who has a 64-bit VM give this a try and report back?

1) Verify that the 64-bit VM works
2) Suspend your host machine then wake it back up
3) Try to run your 64-bit VM again and see if you get the same result I do

UPDATE: I just booted into Windows XP x64 edition and repeated this bug so it's probably not a Linux issue, it's either a problem with VBox, or with my system/Motherboard (BIOS).

Can anyone else out there who has a 64-bit VM (Windows, or Linux host) please give this a try and report back?

1) Verify that the 64-bit VM works
2) Suspend your host machine then wake it back up
3) Try to run your 64-bit VM again and see if you get the same result I do

I have this issue also in Windows 7 64bit with any VT-x vm's after resuming from a suspend state.

Using a eVGA 680i LT mobo with a E6750 Intel Core 2 Duo

Might attempt a bios update sometime to see if that fixes it, but I'm none to hopeful.

This problem can also be confirmed on Windows 7 64-bit Host, CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo E8400.
