More Ubuntu 10.10 grief. Why did VirtualBox stop liking my existing virtual hard drives? Strangely my Windows XP and Windows 7 vm disks work fine, but all my legacy Linux releases (see prior post!) fail to boot in strange ways. After a lot of fiddling with cpu/paging options in VirtualBox, I found something strange. Where my VM was configured for a SATA drive, I flipped them to make them IDE, and they seem to be back in action again. Not sure what happened - maybe the newer VirtualBox release accidentally flipped them to SATA. (I dont think I would have chosen SATA for legacy kernels which have no knowledge of SATA, so maybe VirtualBox defaulted to SATA for me - thanks, err, but no thanks). Very strange. At least I can finally go back to ELF hacking to see how the old RedHat AS4 / Centos 4 handles glibc 2.12 file formats.
