[Bug 510571] Re: Lucid guest won't boot with acpi in virtualbox

[Andrew Gorcester]

I can confirm that arand's patched virtualbox-ose from his PPA does
solve the problem on my Ubuntu 9.10 host/10.04 client.

Bug description:
Lucid is unable to boot as a guest operating system in virtualbox when having acpi enabled.
(Issue first triggered on kernel 2.6.32-11 and is present on all later versions)

This seems to apply to all versions of virtualbox prior to 3.1.4 beta (OSE and PUEL) when booting lucid (or any other system with a newer kernel).

The problem has been fixed upstream.
