calibrate_APIC_clock issue on Win 7 X64 Home Premium

I've installed the OTD Developer Days VM package from Oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/datab ... 61299.html
I'm running a Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit system on a Toshiba Satellite C655D with an AMD processor.
I was running this VM on an old wheezy Win XP box with no problems at all, but when I got the new machine, I imported the VM I was using from the old machine and got the following message:
Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range
WARNING calibrate_APIC_clock: The APIC timer calibration may be wrong.
and the VM just sits there. I redownloaded the VM from oracle thinking I'd performed the import incorrectly, but the results and error message are the same. I'm not a linux ninja, but if need be, I can fix some code but I might need some hand-holding.
Forgive me if this has been covered. I searched and found references to it, but all for linux host OS, not as a guest OS under windows. How exactly do I get an error log out of it?
Thanks in advance.

Post the guest log file (as an attachment) as well as:
From the hosts terminal/command window type VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use "" if the name has a space in it.
Note if the host is Windows you need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for the command to work.

I get "The system cannot find the file specified." Does the vmname require the entire path to the VM? It's not saved in the same subdirectory as VBoxManage.exe

It usually means that you are not in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe in the command window.

Nope. looking right ast it. I can ruin vboxmanage and get a laundry list of command options, but not when I input the VM name. I've tried "" for spaces in names, " ", full file path, nothing is working for that.

WOOHOO!!! I changed the <VMName> from <OTN Developer Days> to "OTN" "Developer" "Days" and I got the message Access is denied
Progress of sorts anyway

If you look at the name in the VBox GUI that is the registered name of the VM.
At least post the guests log file (as an attachment)

And the guests log file?
In the main VBox GUI click on Machine tab and show log. Click save and post (as an attachment)

Won;t let me post a .txt as an attachment, and the attempt to save and attach as .html and .gif were bounced. I also tried direct paste, but the post size limit is 60K characters.
I'm finding the forum limits right off the bat

Change the extension to .log and attach. If it still will not allow then see how big the file is and if necessary zip the file.

That did it. Thanks. One less headache for the day. I better quit while I'm ahead.

At boot time you need to edit the boot string to include divider=10 at the end.
After booted you would edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to have this entry.
This should do it but if not let me know and i will give you an additional entry to put on the end of the line as well

How exactly does one perform this editing? (this is the hand-holding part I warned you about)
