Sabayon X in VB [Solved]

[Johnny Who]

I have tried to boot and install a Sabayon X x86 in a virtual machine, but it halts with the message "This kernel requires pae. Please choose a kernel suitable for your cpu". I suppose that pae standss for "physical address extention". What should I do to get it up and running in Oracle VirtualBox?

I'm not on a machine with VirtualBox installed at the moment, but if you hunt around in the VirtualBox options you'll find a tickbox for PAE. Just tick that and you should be OK.

I've moved this thread to the Virtual Managers shed (forum), as it's more appropriate than the Hardware shed.

Hallo Johnny...
Due to Fitzcarraldo's solution, I've added the location to check mark the PAE box.
You'll open it, when you select your Virtual Machine (left side) in VBox Main window,
then you'll see 'General ... System ... and so on in right window for that selected machine.
For 'System', you'll see the following:


Then click on 'System' headline(right side), and you'll get a new window:

On bottom of it, you can mark PAE now, confirm with 'ok'... That's all.
I don't expect a problem though my windows are in German language ...
