I have just done a fresh install of 9.04 and neet to install virtualization software to run the one and only app that I can't get to run on Ubuntu, a language learning app. Otherwise I'd be winfree!
I installed the version of Virtualbox in the repos since I don't need usb. But as soon as I start it, I get the eula agree to it and it crashes. If I try to start from the cli, I get 'illegal command". and it won't start.
So I remove the ose version and installed the latest version from the Virtualbox web site. Same thing happens.
Any ideas? thanks.

Two bits for you,

Diag with this doc (specifically the messages and syslog entries). It should show you something going on and direct you better.

Then this megadoc for Vbox --
