Can't install Ubuntu 32-bit on 64bit Host

Post by Quattro »

Hey guys,

I'm trying to install a 32-Bit Ubuntu on an 64bit WIndows Host.
Using an AMD CPU. I've turned on Virtualisation in Bios.

But i always get stuck with the same "Error". From this point on, it won't do anything afterwards.


I've attached the messages im getting, and the log file


Greetings

What do you mean by "Install Ubuntu"? The log doesn't show any Install ISO attached to this VM.

Also, you didn't provide a complete log. Shut down the VM before grabbing logs, and zip them before attaching here.

Topic moved to "Linux Guests".

As Mpack pointed out, the log was taken while the guest had only been running for almost 9 seconds, so some diagnostic info is missing. But it does how booting from the guest's hard disk, so that much works. AMD-V is available, no Hyper-V issues.

Treat this as if Virtualbox were not involved and you were installing this OS directly on your PC. Use the OS's support forums and web searches to see how to get into the OS and determine what the OS's syslogs say is the issue. (I had a Linux OS that would boot on my two Intel hosts but not on my AMD host. A Linux-and-a-lot-more guru told me to turn off a watchdog timer, then the guest would boot on the AMD too. Wasn't a Virtualbox issue.)

Thank you,

I thought VirtualBox gets kinda stuck. But you are right. Its an Ubuntu Problem.
I uploaded a new Logfile.
I'll try to dig deeper into this topic.
