I'd be interested in knowing whether this is genuinely a bug on Apple's side or whether it's something that VirtualBox should have been aware of. It sounds like a bug, but if there's an issue with virtualization surely VMWare and Parallels would also have broken functionality as well.

- nicholassmith 14y agoThanks. Well that certainly makes it look like a VB issue rather than Apple, doesn't have an impact for me but I can imagine there's some very stressed developers this morning.
- m_eiman 14y agoThere's more information here: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html , "Hardware vs. software virtualization" and forward. If I'm reading it right, it might be possible to run VB in software virtualization mode even with the new firmware.
