I didn't understand this line. What do you mean by "running ISO in virtualbox from within Porteus" ? :shock:

Ok.. So I updated the Virtualbox to ver 5.1.2 and used Porteus-MATE-v3.2rc4-i586.iso but the same "kernel panic" problem is being shown :(

Boot into Porteus rc4, set up vitualbox, and run the ISO, while still in Porteus, I would think.

Yes. Put porteus on a USB and boot from it (like you are booting into ubuntu) and then install Virtualbox. Then do everything the same as you have done in ubuntu and see if virtualbox loads rc4 correctly. This will tell us if the problem is on the host (ubuntu).

Yes that can be done but there is one little problem.. I have previously tried to boot Porteus from my USB stick but it never works in my Laptop.. It gets stuck in Porteus boot menu page..
But booting from USB in my Desktop works fine.. I can do whatever you have told in my Desktop Computer if that's OK.... :)

I think the problem is in UEFI ????
Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).

But I changed the mode to "Legacy Support" in the BIOS setting. Wouldn't that work ?

And my Laptop has Ubuntu installed only hence without changing to "Legacy Support" it never works..

Ok, Your Usb runs ok in Desktop, Just old BIOS.
But the same Usb fails in your Laptop...Is your Laptop 64 bits and the Desktop 32 bits maybe? Or perhaps the other way around? (Laptop 32, Desktop 64)

No no.. Both my Laptop and Desktop has 64bit systems... But the Porteus that I am using on USB is 32bits and that is working on my Desktop System but not on Laptop... Does that create problem? I mean 32bit system should be fine in 64bit architecture, isn't it? :(
