Hi,

I've tested it again. The host os: 8-CURRENT AMD64, Xeon 5405, updated 
from sources from half an hour ago. No debugging in kernel.

What works:

* Booted 6.2-RELEASE i386 guest
* ACPI, IOAPIC enabled for guest emulation
* Performance seems ok (subjectively). Disk IO seems a bit slow
* Networking, NAT emulation, all emulated NIC hardware

What doesn't work:

* Hardware VT support - "A critical error has occurred..."
* CPU count detection - if I select 2 CPUs for the guest, VirtualBox 
complains the number of physical CPUs is 1 (hardware is quad core)
* Selecting > 1 CPU automatically selects Hardware VT support, so guests 
with multiple virtual CPUs cannot be booted.
* 64-bit guest support (same as above)
* Enabling virtual SATA controller - no error messages, the guest simply 
changes state to "aborted"
* Enabling COM ports - same as above
* Enabling audio - "Some audio devices could not be opened, 
HostAudioNotResponding"
* Rebooting the VM guest "from inside" from the boot loader


But so far it's an excellent start :) Thanks!
