Bad Graphic // no output on boot screen (SOLVED!)

Hello,

After upgrade to Version 3.0.0, my video on WinXP guest in VirtualBox does not work anymore.
I'm Running the VM shows what looks like random crap from graphics ram, with some parts somewhat resembling what should be shown on screen. Pausing the VM shows something like a scanlined greyscale version of the correct screen (which I
guess is used for pause mode, but since I just started playing around with Virtualbox I don't know if that's what should actually be shown), continuing then keeps that, and updates only some parts of the screen (like before not really correct). Running the same VM in vboxgtk works without problems.
Maybe someone have a solution for that?

VirtualBox Version: 3.0.0 (also effects 2.2.4)
Host: Ubuntu Linux (Kernel 2.6.24)
Guest: Windows XP

SOLUTION:
In the shell type:
VBoxManage setextradata global "GUI/RenderMode" sdl
