I recently bought a Framework 12th Gen Laptop with an Intel i7-1280P processor and installed Windows 11 Pro on it. I installed BOINC as well and then tried to add the Rosetta project as well as 4 others on 11 August 2022. Rosetta complained that the processor did not support the required instruction set. None of the other 4 projects have had a problem with it.

I'm guessing that Rosetta is having a problem with the 8 e-cores of the 12th Gen chip.

Are there any plans to address this in the Rosetta application?

I would like to be able to let my new laptop help the Rosetta project in the same way my other computers do.

Thanks for any help.

I'm having the same problem. I've been running Rosetta just fine and then everything quit working. Here is the message that I keep getting. 9/1/2022 11:59:20 PM | Rosetta@home | Message from server: VirtualBox jobs require hardware acceleration support. Your processor does not support the required instruction set.
I have no idea what happened here, as I have been running the Vbox work units for a long time. Nothing has changed on my computer. I'm running Windows 11 Home.

Look in Message Boards > Number Crunching. There are several threads giving detailed steps for getting the VBox tasks to run.

It sounds like you need to enable virtualisation in the bios and disable the software equivalent in Windows but no being a Windows person I cannot give you the details.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi all,

I think issue comes from how virtualization is handled. In modern Windows (10, 11), Windows by default turns on own virtualization called Hyper-V which takes ownership over AMD virtualization.

It's hard to ask people to disable Hyper-V as it's required for few functionalities (i.e. WLS).

VirtualBox can be run with Hyper-V as a backend, however it would require setting it explicite or selecting Default when configuring image.

This is my guess.

I can try to help with this, as I'm software developer, but I miss source code and documentation.
