Bug Description

When I boot into Jaunty using the VBOSE, I find that I cannot install jaunty because the installer says I only have an i686 processor, and not the x86_64. This may be my own ignorance showing, but considering I'm using x86_64 intrepid, this seems to be a bug. I don't know how to get further information as VB hangs to the point I need to restart X.

update: This seems to be a problem with virutal-box itself, asI found the same problem with Debian, though I got a different processor architecture in the error. And when I checked the Debian disk in an actual installation, it worked perfectly).
