However I need some help as I am not involved in the technical details and expect that the devs have better knowledge how to set up the VM in the optimum way specifically for these tests.
Question 1:
My first attempt to install the VBox Guest Additions (in Safe mode) on reactos-bootcd-0.4.15-dev-5833-g083a91-x64 (64 Bit) failed with the message
"The image file \??\D:\VBoxWindowsAdditions-amd64.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."
I never had this issue in my 32 bit setup.
Is there a known way to solve this issue? Maybe I have just configured the VM in a wrong way, or maybe this is known not to work for now.
Question 2:
Have you done tests with x64 ReactOS and multiple cores or is it currently required to set up VMs for both aspects separately, that is, set up a single-core x64 VM and a multi-core x86 VM.
Question 3:
Are there required or recommended settings specifically for testing multi-core support?
Apart from my usual VM test setup described on my wiki page I have done only following changes:
- System>Processor : 2 CPU (I could increase this if it makes sense)
- IO-APIC: ON
My goal is to document working setup(s) on my wiki page so that other testers don't have to ask the same questions.
