PCI Controller: unable to start any host system

Dear All,

I have configured in VirtualBox an linux host which uses a virtual drive created on a hard disk connected on my PCI Express Adaptec RAID 6805 Controller.
The installation of the host operating system went fine. But at the startup of the the brand new operating system which is in my case a Debian ditribution, but other distributions or even a windows 10 have the problem, the boot crashes.
No way to start the virtual machine.

My hardware configuration:
- my workstation runs on Windows 7 Professional 64 bits, 64 GB of RAM
- Adaptec RAID 6805 Controller on which the used drive, for the virtual sata disk, is set up as JBOD
- the Debian 7.7.0 linux distribution 64 Bits is used for my virtual operating system. 8 GB allocated memory.
- VirtualBox version 4.3.20.r96997 without Guest Additions

Boot output:

Tanks to anyone who can bring some help on this issue.
