Ubuntu intrepid/jaunty amd64 guest aborts immediately on startup

[elliottm]

Host: Fully updated kubuntu 8.04.2 amd64, Vbox version: 2.2.0, Guest version: Both kubuntu intrepid amd64 and kubuntu jaunty beta amd64.

I had intrepid amd64 installed when I was running 2.1.x and it ran fine. After upgrading to 2.2.0, the virtual machine aborts right after the "grub loading, press esc to..." screen shows up, where one would expect to see the loading bar.

A quick test shows that it happens with the intrepid amd64 liveCD as well as the jaunty beta amd64 liveCD. The x86 versions of these work, as well as both amd64 and x86 of 8.04.2.

The main part of the error, pulled from the log file, appears to be this:

00:00:10.206 Guest Log: BIOS: *** int 15h function AX=ec00, BX=0002 not yet supported!
00:00:10.207 Guest Log: BIOS: KBD: unsupported int 16h function 03

A full log is attached.

Any change with VirtualBox 2.2.2?

Same deal here, on Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10). Trying to install XP from an image on a fresh VM. Aborts right after I choose CD from the boot device selection.

BTW, I'm trying to install a 32 bit XP guest, not 64 bit.

Jamie, I sent you an E-mail to the address you registered at trac requesting further tests. Not sure if you received that E-mail. Please could you contact me via private E-mail at frank _dot_ mehnert _at_ sun _dot_ com?

This appears to be fixed in 2.2.4, intrepid amd46 boots without a problem.

Thanks for the feedback.
