This is the cause for the ACPI errors during boot and also the cause for the VM not closing after shutdown. I understand and respect what the team is trying to do with the upx'ed kernel, but I wont be using it in my daily use.
roberts:
A final decision on which kernel will be made before final cut of 2.8.
We are making the prior kernel available in the distribtuion file area:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/release_candidates/distribution_files/bzImage-prior
I hope that you afford yourself of this to help test the many new features coming in 2.8.
When you say, VM, it works in Qemu and others, so far as been reported, it seems to be a virtual box issue.
Also, there has only been one hardware configuration from only one user reporting problems.
Release cycles are a period of public testing, and providing as much detailed feedback so that the Team can further improve and enhance Core.

Again, if there is ANY information you need from me to help get this issue resolved, I'm more than happy to help in any way I can.
By the way, for you other people getting the IO-APIC error, there's a simple fix: enable the IO APIC option in System\Motherboard. It's just under the Boot Order box.

Any chatter on the VirtualBox support forums to get them to fully support this as other VMs do?

QEMU 0.12.1 (on Linux) gives error messages, too:
ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables
PnPBios: dev_node_info: function not supported on this system
PnPBios: unable to get node info. Aborting.
This happens both with and without qemu's "-enable-kvm" parameter in the commandline.

My brief testing was booting straight from LiveCD, but since I am planning to virtualize TCL soon, this is of great concern. It looks to me the issue is not VM BIOS's across the board, but rather UPX as the common denominator...
