Hello Folks,

For some reason after 3.0-rc1 VirtualBox will not boot any 64bit operating
systems even though this CPU is 64bit. I'm not sure if this is a VirtualBox
issue or something changed in kernel that broke this.

Can anyone else confirm this as well? My current kernel is
3.0-0.rc3.git5.1.fc16.x86_64

I don't suspect it's a Fedora specific patch that is causing this, but I'm not
sure.
