Well, that is the problem. You need to define a modern machine, in 
VBox, then use the modern, with ACPI, install option for ArcaOS. 
The ancient virtual machine option uses the Uniprocessor kernel, 
which is not well supported by ACPI. ArcaOS 5.05 probably won't 
even include the virtual machine install option.
