Maurice,

no, that's sufficient.

The Intel ATOM series simply never had a VT-x implementation, so there's no
surprise, VBox is stating that fact.

For a description of VT-x, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vt-x#Intel_virtualization_.28VT-x.29

Atom N2600:

http://ark.intel.com/products/58916/

whereas the Q8300 does have VT-x support (they state "see ordering info"):

http://ark.intel.com/products/39107/

So, you do start from a system, where you used the VT-x stuff, which in
Virtualization speak means, you use a para-virtualized Guest. You try to place
that onto a box, that doesn't have virtualization support in the CPU, and
therefore you would need a fully-virtualized environment.

This sadly simply doesn't work.

So, sadly, I now do not know, what to do. You could try and change the config
on your start system and disable VT-x there, and hope, that on reboot on that
system it does reconfigure itself without the VT-x support in the guest. But
that depends on the specific guest OS...

Sorry, I don't have a better answer, perhaps someone else on this alias can
help?
