[Bug 548726] [NEW] Fatal Error running Ubuntu 10.4_Beta1 Virtual Machine on Non PAE enabled VirtualBox host

I get a Fatal Error running Ubuntu 10.4_Beta1 Virtual Machine on Non PAE
enabled VirtualBox host.

I'm running VirtualBox 3.16 on Ubuntu 9.04 with a NOn PAE enabled kernel
(I't running on a laptop with 2Gb Ram).

When I install a "minimal virtual machine" from the Ubuntu 10.4 Beta1
i386 server iso image, the virtual machine aborts during startup with
the following error:

"00:00:17.560 Changing the VM state from 'RUNNING' to 'FATAL_ERROR'.
00:00:17.635 Console: VM runtime error: fatal=true , errorID=PAEmode message="The guest is trying to switch to the PAE mode which is currently disabled by default in VirtualBox. PAE support can be enabled using the VM settings (General/Advanced)""

I can't enable PAE in VirtualBox because it's not enabled in the host
kernel, as machine has only got 2Gb of RAM, so enabling PAE would be
pointless.

I have attached a copy of the log output from the crash.
