[Bug 1334844] Re: installer crashes on install under virtual box

[tombrus]

tested several different setups... eventually got it to work with *.vdi
backed disk i.s.o. *.hdd backed disk.

I am concluding that the *.hdd integration of Virtual Box is bogus. (I
also got some messages on other install trials that the disk had errors
and that it was probably old or should be moved to a cooler environment,
lol).

So this is NOT an ubuntu bug, will mark it as such.
Will leave this bug here for other users experiencing the same.
