Porteus has a problem running in VMs. I tried Porteus LXqt V3.1 for 486 (as it's eventually going to run on a non-PAE machine). booting the iso in virtualbox gave a kernel panic with a sync error.
The solution was to disable VT-z/AMD-V in the virtual machine settings (Settings>System>Acceleration on Oracle virtualbox V5.0.2).
Just posting it here in case it helps anyone else.

Re: kernel panic in virtualbox
Thanks for the info. But this is the first time in years that one reports such a difficulty with booting the porteus iso on vbox.
Though I do not remember using porteus lxqt edition in vbox.
