According to the Debian Wiki, this information is out of date.

  http://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#A32-bituserlandwithamd64kernel

And anyway, if it really would not work for that reason, VirtualBox
would have to give a real error message.  Just closing the bug does
not help.

As you can see in my original bug report, I tried to use a 32 bit
kernel (actually three of them), and it did not work either, with the
same error messages.

Cheers,
