I had exactly the same problem recently with a Dell Latitude D410 laptop that is about 6 years old. In that case it only complained about pni. In the end I (reluctantly) created ny own VirtualBox installation of Linux and compiled Sage from source. I have to say that once you have Linux installed (I used Ubuntu, which is quite friendly to install) the Sage install from source code instructions are very good and once you have all the required tools installed the actual make is just a one line instruction, even if I did have to leave the make running overnight. I guess the problem is that the virtual image was created on a newer machine and the image is optimised to use the newer instruction set.
