Hard to get Ubuntu 8.10 working on VirtualBox 5.1.38

Post by TwilyDev »

Hi guys!
So, I want to test Ubuntu 8.10 on Lubuntu 16.04 host, But, while starting up, the boot screen is like glitching and Guru Meditation occur.
(And bad fact, Guru Meditation is freezing the computer.)
And here's the log file while I was attempting to boot up.

VirtualBox VM 5.1.38_Ubuntu r122592 linux.x86 (Jul 10 2018 10:40:22) release log
It looks like you're using the Ubuntu fork version of VirtualBox, and an old one. You can either ask in their forums for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Linux Downloads section of VirtualBox. The current version is 5.2.22.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Do you still get the error if you disable the audio controller in the VM settings?
