Booting kernel failed : Invalid argument

Question

While trying to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox above windows 10, I get this error after the purple screen.

I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu from their website. It's called : ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

VirtualBox parameters:

Type: Linux
Version: Ubuntu 64
Memory size: 2048MB
Create new virtual disk
VDI
Dynamically allocated
File location and size: 2.25 GB

Solution

I faced the same problem. My VMware version was 12. So I checked Md5 checksum of my ISO file. But They were different. I found that the ISO file was not downloaded perfectly and a problem happened. So I tried downloading again. Then installation was completed finally.

That file allocation is too small, please make it at least 8 - 10GB, and please take a shot of the device (not when running) as much as possible extending the Virtualbox app so I can see most of the settings...

@George It's not working, I set it to 11GB but no change
