Critical Error trying to launch Ubuntu (32 bit and 64 bit)

I tried disabling VT-x/AMD-v for 32bit Ubuntu (64bit advises that it will be enabled anyway even if I disable).
Attached is the log.
Can someone help me how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue?

turn off EFI booting.

EFI booting is already off.
I had to restart my host machine (windows 7, 64-bit) because I have installed some updates which required a restart.
I restarted the Ubuntu VM and it chugged along a few more minutes than usual and then displayed the critical error dialog box again.
Attached is the new log file.

Code: Select all
Commandline: "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBox.exe" --comment macosxserver --startvm 8912fe3e-bb4e-4b9d-92eb-901fd7c17e70 --no-startvm-errormsgbox
Unexpected trap during early EFI bootstrap!!
You must have submitted the wrong log file then.
Plus running a Mac in non-Mac hardware & host is not supported.

Wrong log file. Sorry about that. I don't know how I picked that.
Anyway, I am still unable to boot Ubuntu in Virtual Box.
I can't attach the new log file because it is > 128KB!
I truncated the log to show the guru meditation (!) assertion that I saw with the critical error dialog.
How can I troubleshoot this? I have tried changing various options but with no resolution.

32 bit is restricted and yes you can use more memory with pae and io-apic being on, but for this you *must have VT-x enabled.
You have two choices.
- 1) turn on hardware-v in your bios
2) turn off VT-x (which means you don't nee io-apic and can not assign more than 3GB of memory) probably a little less.
Same thing for 64-bit guests. You must enable hardware-v

That was it.
I enabled Hardware Virtualization, but Windows 7 gave me grief initially (won't start, but did restart after a repair) and I am able to run Ubuntu (or at least start the installation of Ubuntu) in the VirtualBox now.
Thank you very much Perryg.
