This error is caused by VM having no smbus but Ubuntu always trying to load the module. It doesn’t affect anything but is a bit annoying – to fix: -

1. Check module is being loaded: -

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep i2c_piix4
2. If so, blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, by adding the following to the end of the file :-

Code: Select all

blacklist i2c_piix4
3. Update the initramfs

Code: Select all

update-initramfs -u -k all

I can't even install Ubuntu 12.04 on VirtualBox 4.3.10 in Windows 8.1 because of this error. The installed stops.

How am I gonna run those console commands?
