Aha! This is exactly the issue I have had... Virtualbox was not launched
as it is v2.1.4 (Jaunty Jackalope) and the Lucid installer hangs in
QEMU, after complaining that kvm is disabled. I thought then that kvm
was necessary alongside Virtualbox to run, and kvm is disabled on my
laptop (sony vaio vgn-ar520e) through the BIOS; I have no reliable way
of turning it on yet. I guess then I am stuck at the moment! Karmic has
had other issues with my laptop, so I am sticking to Jaunty until I
upgrade to Lucid, and I guess I will have to use Virtualbox directly to
try out Lucid for a "test drive" until then.
