OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - Technical > Setup & Installation
Install ArcaOS 5.0.5 guest in VirtualBox v. 5.0.51 host for OS/2
Devid:
Has anyone managed to install arcaos on a guest virtual machine with virtualbox os / 2 host version 5.0.51?
vbox-os2-i386-v5.0.51.zip downloaded from ecsoft2.org.
I have tried all possible combinations in the system settings of virtualbox but immediately after starting it crashes.
Log attached.

Dave Yeo:
Hi David, OS/2, including ArcaOS, won't run on a OS/2 hosted VBox due to no virtualized hardware support in our kernel, which is required to run OS/2 in VBox.
Devid:
And bochs could be a solution?
Dave Yeo:
A very slow solution if you can find a port that works. Better is VirtualPC, there's a binary here, https://winworldpc.com/product/virtual-pc/5x though if I remember right, it had a SMP problem. There was a patched version floating around. Anyways worth trying.
David McKenna:
It works here only if using the OS/4 kernel on the host. http://www.gus.biysk.ru/os4/
