Have been maintaining the G4L project since 2004, and don't recall exactly
when I started using VirtualBox with it. Originally, had a 32bit separate
machine, but found that creating a 32bit virtual machine was faster
process. Don't know if it was before KVM or if VirtualBox just came up
first.

Might have to take a look at it, or it might be some issue with secure
boot. The clean install used EFI boot setup, which the previous setup did
not use.
Thanks for the info.
