Re: Error installing linux on VB
It means that the VM you are trying to create will require VT-x or AMD-v, i.e. it will require hardware accelerated virtualization support. This must be available as a feature in your CPU, enabled in your host BIOS, and nothing else can be already using it.
You can run most 32bit VMs without VT-x/AMD-v. All 64bit VMs require VT-x/AMD-V, as does all versions of Win8 whether 32bit or 64bit.
If you are trying to install a 32bit (or older) VM other than Win8 then simply turning off VT-x in the VM recipe may fix the problem. I'll emphasise that this option must however be enabled for 64bit VMs and Win8.
