Hi Paul

In the log I see this line:

00:00:00.447635   PAE - Physical Address Extension                      
 = 0 (0)

which makes me think that you've not enabled PAE?
There's a warning in the CG about this:

> The image contains a ‘686-pae’ kernel, so you must enable PAE 
> within the virtual machine’s settings – click on System → 
> Processor and select ‘Extended features: Enable PAE/NX’.

I remember that Virtual Box used to shout if PAE was not enabled. But 
the last time I checked it was some time ago.

Let me know if this helps.
Otherwise I may suggest another virtualization system, libvirt, that I 
use and know better than Virtual Box.
