[feverwind]

I use VBoxManage create a linux2.6-64bit vm，the vm boot failed. But I use Virtualbox GUI create a same configure linux2.6-64bit vm，it works fine. There be some bug in VBoxManage.

The reason for your problem with VBoxManage is that you don't use a 64-bit OS type. "Linux26" is a 32-bit OS type. Use "Linux26_64" instead. Or use "Linux26" but add "--longmode on" to as parameter.
