I try to install Windows 2008 Server x64 in VBOX 3.0.6, but it stopped everytime i tried at "Starting Windows" at the install.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

I had the same issue when I "upgraded" to 3.0.6, the x64 Win2008R2 guest I had would not boot. I downgraded back to 3.0.4 and it works now.

This also occurred with CentOS 5.3 64 Bit install.
