Unable to install Ubuntu in VirtualBox OSE

[Mark Diekhans]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to install Ubuntu in VirtualBox OSE and hitting
a wall:

Configuration:
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE amd64 GENERIC kernel
virtualbox-ose-4.0.10
virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.0.10
Using remote X11 access, not a local server
no special virtualbox configuration changes

Tried both:
ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso
ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso

Makes it to timezone selection screen and VirtualBox machine
aborts and machine window closes. No messages are added to the
log after the install starts.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Mark

Try use IDE Controller in VM istead of SATA

Thanks!!

Switching to IDE fixed this problem. Is there an outstanding PR
or should I file one?
