I am unable to install Ubuntu 14.10(64-bit PC(AMD64)desktop image on my virtualbox. My hostmachine is Kubuntu14.04 runing a virtualbox version- 4.3.10-ubuntur93012. Inside my virtualbox i have assigned Memory size 7646 MB, and virtual hard drive is 8GB.While installing i was having this error message on my screen "Failed to access perfect msr (MSR c0010004 is 0)" also "SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr" then it prompted that it has insufficent disk space to get install.

Can you describe what exactly is occurring here? Does the installer boot? Try assigning more disk space to your virtual machine.

You are also running an old version of virtualbox; try updating it and see if the problem still occurs.
