I've got virtualbox, I've got a linux iso. and when I go to start my virtual machine and install linux, it says "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU". What do I do?

The easiest option is to download an x86 ISO, as you're unlikely to give more than 4GB of RAM to a VM. Especially if your host OS is 32-bit, running a 64-bit VM will be very slow. | |||

You will either need to set the Guest OS mode (in Virtual Box) to x64 as it is currently only emulating a 32 bit CPU, or you can download a 32bit Linux iso instead of a 64 bit one. | |||
