This bug stops some people from being able to test Lucid. The F6 acpi workaround (worked for me) needs to be put in various release notes. I hope that some version of virtualbox-ose that fixes this bug (3.1.5+?) also gets into Karmic soon. The Karmic one is currently at version 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubunt

Installing the upstream 3.1.4 package did not solve the bug for me, but for the record, here's the direct link to the bug: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6100 Booting the image with acpi=off (by pressing F6 and checking the option in the Ubuntu bootloader) as suggested there as a workaround d

Hi, It seems to be a kernel bus in 2.6.32. I updated my VirtualBox to version 3.1.4 (sic !) which includes a workaround for a bug in the 2.6.32 kernel, virtualization part. See bug 6100 of virtualbox. Not alpha2 of lucid boots, well at least I see other problems. So I think this problem should b

I've had similar experiences. My machine does not have hardware virtualization support, and Lucid images were working fine in Virtualbox up to a point. Now they can only start the bootloader, and whenever I try "Try Ubuntu without installing" or "Install Ubuntu", the VM hangs with 100% CPU usage.

Confirmed. Installation of Lucid works fine (Image: lucid- alternate-i386.iso, 15.01.2010). After updating to the machine booting is no longer possible. The problem does not seem to be kernel related though. The machine hangs directly after "grub loading", before I get the chance to select a kerne

I confirm #7, but with Alpha 2. It boots off the original .iso but then fails after I upgrade packages. It's gotta be a funky kernel. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which

If i install alpha1, then apt-get upgrade, there is no problem. If I do apt-get dist-upgrade, machine freezes. Booting with a recovery cd, and changing GRUB to let me select which kernel to boot, and choosing the old (2.6.32-7) kernel, everything is fine. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot

My experience is slightly different. I upgraded VirtualBox on XP to 3.1.2 and Alpha 1 ran OK on it. I then did a fresh install of Alpha 2. This worked until I installed the first batch of updates. Then I got the failure to boot as described by Paulo (black screen with a white underscore on the upp

This is a problem with the Ubuntu Image, not with the Virtual Box package that is being distributed. I had similar symptoms, so I went to Windows XP and installed the last version of VirtualBox Free Edition (not Open Source). I tried to boot the Lucid ISO (and yes the checksum was ok). The initial
