Hi Ivan,
thank you for your fast response! Sorry for letting out such an important information, perhaps my coffee was not strong enough (-:

At the moment I use 3.2.10 r66523, the latest version, as far as I know.

But I tried also some versions before. I'm on this issue since about one year, sporadic, far away from daily. I thought most time I had issues with the crashing application. But last week I started with updcd and recognized unpack2 and zip crashing very often. Due to this I got aware I have a more general issue, and probably no issue with my application.

Generally I use Linux as base system, I only tried the Win7 to ensure it is no linux specific issue. And since the Win7 machine is a desktop opposed to my Linux notebook the hardware is also very different.

VT is active on both installations, of cause.

Hi,
I try to use OS/2 Warp4 as VirtualBox guest, I was able to install, but have stability issues. Various programs crash with a SYS3175 (see attachment) error.

The programs do not crash always, most times they work. For example applying fixpacks is quite hard, since it often crashes, and I have to start again.
At the moment I try to build boot CDs with updcd but I fail since unpack2.exe fails often. The unpack2 program does, of cause, not crash at unpacking the same files.
And as said the unpack2.exe is only a example, many other also fail sometimes, with the same error.

My host OS is Ubuntu 10.04.1 64bit on one machine and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on the other one (two machines, no dualboot).

The guest OS I tried is OS/2 Warp4. I tried no fixpack, fp5, fp12, fp14 and fp15. I also reinstalled several times.

I'm getting out of fresh ideas now, can anyone help? Did anyone successfully install and use Warp4 on VB?

greetings

Thorsten Eggert
