Can't start Kali Linux in VirtualBox

Hi,

I am a beginner. It's the first time I've been using VirtualBox, and the first time I've been using Kali.
I've tried to install Kali Linux in VirtualBox.
I use Lubuntu 15.10 Wily.
The laptop has: 2 G RAM( 1243 MB for Kali ), Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 / 2 GHz

At the end of Installation, when Kali should start, has stopped

Code: Select all

Loading, please wait... 
I've been waiting like this at least 20 minutes.

After, I tried for a few times the next ones: change "quite" with "nomodset" or to delete "quiet" at all, and to start it in "recovery mode".

After few restarts of Kali, error in the console was:

Code: Select all

SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
After I've tried, boot Kali Linux, press "space bar":

Any ideas please?
Thank you.

Some reason, I can't get mine to work unless i bump up the ram to 2gb.. the requirment for storage space on kali went up to 10GB on the new release..but i found that that gave me issue too..so i bump up storage space to 20 and 40GB on both installation and it seem to work.. Hope that helps.. this video help me thru the install.
