MP-BIOS bug : 8254 VirtualBox timer not connected to IO-APIC

Hi everyone,
After starting Metasploitable.vdmk in VirtualBox, I have the message "MP-BIOS bug:8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC" which appears in the console on the screen and thus remains frozen. It is therefore impossible to install Metasploitable in VirtualBox while the "enable IO-APIC" box is checked in the Metasploitable settings of VirtualBox.
Does anyone have an answer/solution please? Thanks
