Oh, and I'm running 1.25 release.
Just did a git clone of the latest and I seem to be hitting the same issue. I have no issues creating a VM manually with the same ISO file, and my host OS and virtualbox support x64 guest operating systems. Not sure what is going on here.
Ok, quick update. It appears as though I was just being impatient. It can take up to an HOUR for this to go through. Not sure why. But this issue is being closed.
