I have downloaded virtualbox 5.1.6. All went just fine. I am now trying to load Linux. I continue to get an error "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU." My system:4GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB AMD Athlon II X2 250 I have tried several different downloads including the 32 bit version and still get this error. Each time I have removed the created box and started with a new one. I'm trying to take an online course to become familiar with Linux. I am not looking to create a dual boot or new OS. I'm a beginner when it comes to Linux so any information would be appreciated.

What is the host OS? – Ceda EI Sep 30 '16 at 15:27

Your host OS is probably 32Bit and you are trying to install 64bit ubuntu – lewis4u Sep 30 '16 at 21:47

I had something similar and I had to go into bios and make sure virtualization was turned on and secure compute was turned off. My system is Intel not AMD so I am not sure if you have the same options.
