Hi,
you presumably running i686 VirtualBox VM for the OpenStack,
but the cirros instance in devstack requires x86_64 machine.
qemu emulates i686 if host is i686.

Try to recreate base OS in VirtualBox in a 64bit mode.
If you name your machine like 'Linux_11.10_64bit', VirtualBox will
automatically
configure x86_64 CPU emulation.

Regards,
