DetailsDescription:
Upon install, virtualbox-ose prints the following warning: ===> Tickless Linux timer: VirtualBox currently does not work well on Linux ===> kernels with tickless timer support (CONFIG_NO_HZ enabled). ===> We are investigating the problem but in the meantime you should disable ===> the tickless timer by disabling that config option or by adding nohz=off ===> to the Linux kernel command line. According to the VirtualBox FAQ (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ), this warning is no longer true: * Tickless Linux timer: VirtualBox currently does not work well on Linux kernels with tickless timer support (CONFIG_NO_HZ enabled). We are investigating the problem but in the meantime you should disable the tickless timer by disabling that config option or by adding nohz=off to the Linux kernel command line. Starting with VirtualBox 1.5.6 the Linux kernel module knows the parameter force_async_tsc. Try loading the kernel module with modprobe vboxdrv force_async_tsc=1 and see if that helps to improve things for you. (Should not be necessary anymore since VirtualBox 1.6.0) Package Versions: * virtualbox-ose 3.1.4-1 |
