No XSAVE instruction failed booting OpenVMS 9.2 in VirtualBox

Post by paulcotton » Thu Dec 19, 2024 11:18 am

Hi

I am getting the error "This machine does not satisfy the requirements for running OpenVMS - No XSAVE instruction, FAILED when attempting to boot VSI 9.2 under VirtualBox from a laptop runnning Windows 11 (home edition). I am hoping that the fact that I have the home (and not Enterprise) edition of Windows 11 isnt the limiting factor here as I did try disabling HyperV using "bcedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off" from CMD window and rebooting but issue remains. :cry:

Perhaps it's just me, but I actually *like* the formatting of Steven's posts, since the coding format retains indentation and the judicious use of white space.

Exactly. It's just a pity the forum software doesn't allow a bigger window so you don't have to scroll so much. I haven't looked at this via a mobile platform. I'm an old school desktop person.

   Yes, I would mind.  As I've said before:

   If the forum software didn't play with my (carefully arranged) white
space, then I wouldn't call everything "code".


> [...] I'm an old school desktop person.

   I got accustomed to 80-column cards when I was in college, and
80-column terminals (VT100, at al.) after that.  Fifty-odd years later,
I find it difficult to care much about accommodating devices with less
capability than that.  Call me stodgy.

I've previously indicated to Steven my preferences - an edit towards the end of ...

https://forum.vmssoftware.com/viewtopic ... cpu#p17837

My reasoning; posting in a code block pushes the 'effort' out to the reader.

The code block needs to be parsed, sometimes very carefully considering it is based on empty lines, with '>' indicating quoted portions along with plain text (lead line indented) intermingled.

Using even elementary forum formatting, (implicit) paragraphing, quoted portions ["] and explicit code blocks [</>] (where white space may be very relevant) immediately makes the roles of each much clearer to the reader. Or at least to me. Call me lazy.

Steven's formatting is brilliant for VAX Notes or USENET News.

The world has moved on - like it or not (I'm 70+ and a bit of a Luddite) - and the VSI forum is implemented with (not-so-) new technologies. This post was put together using white-space, ["], [</>] and [8] (link). I think it would be easier to get the drift of than if:

(and this is just a short post to boot) while the mailbox slot of a code block doesn't help at all -
but does constrain the on-screen real-estate of individual posts.

And we'd all be the (VMS) poorer without much of Steven's input.

PPO.

Hi Raymii,

Thankyou kindly for your feedback (and apologies for the delay in responding - as been away for a couple of weeks). After amending my putty session to include the following changes that you'd suggested I am now able to login and change password successfully :P

I am very grateful for your assistance in resolving this issue for me (and to all the others who also contributed their thoughts and feedback)

   Did you use this one, too?:

      Connection type: Other : Raw

And, if so, were these two needed?:

Yes I also used all of the settings above (and were all needed).
