Edubuntu 9.10 AMD64 doesn't boot in VBox?

[Jordan Erickson]

I can't believe I spaced on the details =p

Ok, so when I try booting either from a burned DVD image or an ISO in
VBox, it will actually hard-lock my system after going to a black screen
(after hitting "Install Edubuntu"). I'm thinking maybe it's a bug in
VBox, but other OSes I've installed so far (Ubuntu, WinXP..) have been
working fine. I dunno, I booted directly to the DVD and it seems to work
but when I did that, I did the Live session option (didn't want to
install it..I can always just see if it actually gets to anything though)..

I'll keep you guys posted. Kinda strange.
