Cannot install and run Ubuntu 7.04 on VirtualBox 6.1

Post by ewhv »

I need to test something in 32-bit Ubuntu 7.04 so I thought setting up a vm would be a good idea.

I download the ubuntu 7.04 32-bit server image and import it in the usual way I would set up any vm.

After starting the vm, this is the initial boot screen I'm seeing, please see my initial attachment.

However, as soon as I choose the "install the local disk" option, the window stays in a black screen with only blinking cursor, and does not respond to any external input. Please see my second attachment

VM configuration:
CPU: 1
Memory: 1G
VDI: 15G

I thought these configuration should be sufficient, especially since the target is just a 32-bit server. In fact, with the same configuration I can even run Ubuntu 20.04 without any issue.


These are the information about the physical host where I run the VirtualBox

OS: Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu 22.04 jammy)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE, with AMD SVM virtualization mode enabled in the BIOS setup
RAM: 8G
Storage: 1TB


Thanks for any help in advance

Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
