Bug Description
Lucid is unable to boot as a guest operating system in VirtualBox when having acpi enabled.
Applies to Karmic & earlier versions of VirtualBox
------
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)
