I couldn't boot lucid64 on my 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 host until I changed the "Operating System Type" from just "Ubuntu" to "Ubuntu (64 bit)".

From http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests:

If you want to use 64-bit guest support on a 32-bit host operating system, you must also select a 64-bit operating system for the particular VM. Since supporting 64 bits on 32-bit hosts incurs additional overhead, VirtualBox only enables this support upon explicit request.

Whoops. Noted, thanks. I'll update this issue once it is fixed.

We're still seeing this problem with Vagrant 1.6.3, Ubuntu 12.04 32bit host, 14.04 64bit guest.
