Comment 7 for bug 246067

Hi,

I had this issue, too. But after trying some options in the virtual machine do the following to get a much higher successful boot rate (at least it works for me):

Go into the Settings of the VM, choose the Advanced Tab in General and check "Enable VT-X/AMD-V". I am virtualizing with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 as Host and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ 2.50 GHz Brisbane. After unchecking the option I will get the "bad EIP" error codes again.

Hope this helps nailing down the problem.
