Hmm, I cannot help but this sounds like you want to run VirtualBox/x86
on AMD64...

Please could you verify that your VBox.log file actually says that
this is linux.amd64 (first line)?

Otherwise, please have a look at linux/SUPLib-linux.cpp lines 221-247.
You might want to run

  strace -f -o ~/strace.log VirtualBox -startvm VM_NAME

to find out what error code the ioctl is actually returning.

Kind regards,

Frank
