how to setup OS type via Vagrant file?
Alexey Melezhik
I want to know if it possible to setup OS type via Vagrant file?
---
The history of this issue:
* I install gentoo64 VM on windows 7 32 bit host OS installed on 64
bit host machine
* `vagrant add` goes ok
* `vagrant up` waits in endless loop, because VirtualBox's assumption
for guest's OS type is gentoo, not gentoo46 and so VM does not launch
* when I setup OS type to gentoo64 via VirtualBox GUI vagrant up
succeed in launching virtual VM

Currently you can't. The OS type is queried over ssh from the running
VM and gentoo64 is not detected.
You'd need to change Vagrants' source to do this so I suppose you
could open a feature request.
There is some debate about what is the least fault prone -
configuration vs interrogation.

OS type response as gentoo? Or maybe the responce was correct
(gentoo64), but
VirtualBox manager forced to use gentoo 32 bit OS type because of
host os was 32 bit ?

I think this should explain why:
https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/master/lib/vagrant/systems/linux.rb#L14
Again, I think if you want this addressed you'll need to open a issue?
