Ubuntu 7.04 server currently does not work on VirtualBox, as it enables PAE mode by default without checking whether it is supported. VirtualBox currently does not support PAE.

That's a duplicate of a ticket that has somehow vanished.

BTW: This is the same reason why openSUSE 10.3 BETA 3 fails on VirtualBox.

I think there is only *one* CPU these days in existence, that does not supports PAE. It is Core 1 Duo /Solo (laptop).
Maybe VirtualBox can try to use it's CPU Flag.../Emulate it's behavior.
Now I think I understand why all Xen kernels doesn't boot on VBox...
But PAE is dead-end technology, superceded by x86-64, so I don't think there is any advantage of implementing it. Better would be x86-64 guests.
