Having a bit of a problem attempting to install 10.4 64bit as a guest on
9.04 karmic (64bit). I initially had 3.1.4-57640_Ubuntu_karmic (64bit)
installed from the repositories (VirtualBox PEUL version) with a
Win2KPro guest. All worked just fine.

This evening I decided to add another machine; an Ubuntu 10.4 64bit from
a liveCD:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
 lucid-desktop-amd64.iso
CD checks out fine & I can run in demo mode on the machine:
HP G60-530US
     *-cpu
          description: CPU
          product: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU       T4300  @ 2.10GHz
          vendor: Intel Corp.
          physical id: 1c
          bus info: c...@0
          version: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU       T4300  @ 2.10GHz
          slot: CPU

          capacity: 2100MHz
          width: 64 bits
          clock: 800MHz
          capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce

However when I attempted to install in VirtualBox (I assigned 20Gb hard
drive. 1024Gb ram, w/128Mb video - hardware virtualization is checked &
greyed out for 'Enable VT-x/AMD-V' & 'Enable Nested Paging') VB came
back & told me that the cpu was the wrong version.
"This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."

I then enabled IO APIC and attempted again. Same result. Same if I
attempt to run the liveCD in demo mode on the VM.

Note: I've purged the old VB install (including ~/.virtualbox) and
started from scratch (minus the Win2KPro guest etc), and still get the
same results.

Suggestions on what I may be missing? Should I try the Alternate CD vs
the liveCD? I do have a 32bit lucid liveCD that I can try instead - but
figure I'd better wait until tomorrow & suggestions from the list before
spending time trying that one.
