Hi, Doesn't sound like a syslinux bug. virtualbox virtualizes the code, which runs in the host cpu, unlike qemu which emulates the whole thing. It most likely needs some hack to intercept/translate CPUID instructions. I suggest reassigning the bug. But if you want to be sure, try a cpuid test from somewhere else, like GRUB 2 (cpuid command), or even Linux (/proc/cpuid). -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
