** Description changed: - Lucid is unable to boot as a guest operating system in virtualbox when having acpi enabled. - (Issue first triggered on kernel 2.6.32-11 and is present on all later versions) + Lucid is unable to boot as a guest operating system in VirtualBox when having acpi enabled. + Applies to Karmic & earlier versions of VirtualBox - This seems to apply to all versions of virtualbox prior to 3.1.4 beta - (OSE and PUEL) when booting lucid (or any other system with a newer - kernel). + ------ - The problem has been fixed upstream. + TEST CASE: + 0.1 Boot a pre-Lucid release of ubuntu + 0.2 Install VirtualBox + 1. Create a new virtual machine in VirtualBox + 2. Attach a Lucid liveCD (e.g. beta1) and start the virtual machine + * The machine is unable to boot + ! Expected is that the machine should be able to boot + + Workaround: + Either disable acpi in the VirtualBox settings, or use acpi=off as a kernel parameter when booting. + + Impact: + This affects the testing of Lucid as well as running any distributions with a newer kernel. + The number of affected users can be expected to increase + + Scope: + Issue first triggered on kernel 2.6.32-11 in Lucid and is present on all later versions. + This seems to apply to all versions of VirtualBox prior to 3.1.4 beta (OSE and PUEL) when booting Lucid (or any other system with a newer kernel). That is, all versions prior to Lucid's (Karmic & Jaunty confirmed) + + Fix: + Changesets r26129 (http://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/26129) and r26130 (http://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/26130) from upstream SVN fixes this bug, and testing of these through patched PPA package (https://launchpad.net/~arand/+archive/virtualbox) seems to be successful
