I can't see how your Windows Host is relevant to the question asked, so moving this topic to "Linux Guests".

Post a VM log file: With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

I have uploaded the VBOX.log file as a zip, take a look if you can. Thank you for replying.

The website refers to a "custom hardened 3.16 kernel", so an OS version of "Linux 2.6" is clearly not correct. Try "Debian (32bit)", and enable VT-x, since I suspect that a hardened kernel might need more than basic CPU features.

Before you can enable VT-x you'll need to fix this :-
VBox.log wrote: 00:00:04.483719 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes
Increase RAM to 1024MB and graphics RAM to 48MB. Hopefully that 20GB drive is large enough.

Enabling the VT-x did the trick and Debian-32. Thank you.
