What's going on? Running: Windows 7 64-bit Intel Core i5-2500K VirtualBox-4.3.10-93012-Win debian-6-boinc-server-130327 Also, note sure if this is relevant but the VmServer guide says "The OS is Debian 6 "Squeeze" (64-bit)" whereas mine is 32-bit, although it's from the package I downloaded on the VmServer page. It says "amd64" and I'm using an Intel chipset. Not sure if that matters either... ID: 53600 ·

But this is just a categorization issue. I got my master version booted up correctly. I'm currently updating the VM to Debian 7 and latest BOINC sources. This will take some time to test and upload.

Please try this and report back if there are still some issues. ID: 53628 ·

Activate your VT-x/AMD-V acceleration in your BIOS settings, maybe this was the reason why the old one also didn't start. ID: 53698 ·

Activate your VT-x/AMD-V acceleration in your BIOS settings Before confusion arises, the Intel i5-2500K only has VT-x, which should be enabled in the BIOS. ID: 53701 ·
