XP won't boot when VT-x is enabled

[ilker555]

When VT-x is enabled, XP starts booting but stops during XP logo boot up screen. The progress bar stops scrolling an virtualized system is not responding anymore. When disabling VT-x in Virtualbox XP is booting without problems. VT-x is enabled in BIOS.

Is the VM running Zone Alarm? This basically describes a problem I discovered. Disabling VT-x/AMD-V allows the VM to work properly. If I uninstall zone alarm, then I can use VT-x/AMD-V. (Discovered this by making a new 32 bit XP, and it froze when I got to installing Zone Alarm.)

This occured with 32 bit versions of Zone Alarm from 6.5.737 to the latest as of this writing.

I should add that my host is linux, Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit. My guest is XP 32 bit.

This appears fixed with 3.0.2. Apparently my problem with Zone Alarm was a duplicate of #1778.
