I am not sure whether this really is related to virtualbox or might be a
kernel issue: In my environment, I managed to boot up any VM reliably
after, in the VM configuration, disabling "VT-x/AMD-V" support (which is
not really what one wants on a Core2 Duo that actually supports VT).
However:

- Switching VT-x/AMD-V on and trying to boot the VM reliably ends up in
a complete system lockup (frozen UI, SysRq keys not working anymore,
machine not ping'able via LAN anymore).

- Switching off VT-x/AMD-V, the virtual machine comes up and seems to
work as expected.

So, overally, this is a workaround to at least get VMs in virtualbox-ose
running again.
