["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Verified in Trusty in live environment via Trusty. The message is
largely innocuous, as I've seen this in every version of VirtualBox
available in a Ubuntu host, with every version of Ubuntu as a guest
since Maverick. It would be nice if the message either wouldn't appear
at all during boot, or whatever it's complaining about is dealt with.

Title:
  at boot get piix4_smbus error, Ubuntu installed in VirtualBox

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  at very first live CD boot I get a "piix4_smbus [...] smbus have address unintialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr" error.
  Then after the first reboot it disappears.

  Ubuntu 10.10 is the beta made available around August the 31st. It is
  installed in a VIrtual Box 3.2.6 OSE r63112 (latest from PPA at that
  time).

  Only non-conventional Guest installation I did was to disable the
  VT-x/AMD-V functionality.
