Running Oracle VM Virtualbox as 64-bit guest OS in 32-bit host OS

SadockDec 15 2011 — edited Dec 16 2011
Dear all

I get this error *'long mode not supported, rebooting Press any key to reboot'* when trying installing Solaris 11 from Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 Live Media for x86 on my 32-bit laptop. When i find solutions on Internet (oracle forums) i get siggestions that Oracle Solaris 11 is only supported on 64-bits

But also i get another suggestion that say 'Another clarification: what is mandatory for Solaris 11 on the top of Virtual Box is defining the former as a 64-bit guest, the host can stay 32 bit"

For me i interpreted this suggestion as is possible to run Oracle VM Virtualbox as 64-bit guest OS in 32-bit host OS. Community is it really possible? if possible how?

Regards

Sadock
