FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p6 r369558
Gigabyte B450M DS3H
AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics
American Megatrends motherboard

I'm attempting to run an old Windows XP guest machine. It dies,
telling me that AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS. If I go to the WXP
machine settings and uncheck the "Hardware Virtualization" box, it
says I still have an invalid Hardware Virtualization setting and it
won't let me save the settings. I can't find anything in the BIOS
that looks at all like "AMD-V". When I wws trying to run this machine
under VBox 5.2.44_1, it crashed FreeBSD, leading me to upgrade to
6.1.18_1 and getting me into the current situation. Help?

I don't have a Gigabyte AM4 board but Google found me this page.

Thanks! This fixed my immediate problem and got me back to the
point where starting the virtual machine crashes FreeBSD (and I am
sure I'm running the right kernel module versions). I'll try to
revive some old hardware ... -- George

Old hardware being recalcitrant. The crash dump info from when I
started my Windows XP machine under VBox is at:

Does anything here look useful? Thanks for the help. -- George

With further help from Jung-uk Kim, I determined that my kernel has
VIMAGE set but the VBox kernel module doesn't. After I fixed the
VBox kernel module option, now everything seems to work. Thanks!
