Finally solved VirtualBox Ubuntu issue

Submitted by specialj on Sat, 2008-02-02 19:50.

Turns out that VirtualBox doesn't support the Ubuntu Server Linux kernel due to it's reliance on PAE support (even in 64-bit apparently). The solution is to run the generic kernel instead. I'm not sure if that can be done when installing Ubuntu Server, or if one has to install Ubuntu desktop and then strip it down. I'll have to do some testing when I get the time.
