Update to Lion, my XP vm hangs at startup

hello !

i'm facing a problem after migrating to lion. i did my vm backup (actually all the vb folder, with hard disks and xml files).
i tried to install my vm again and the xml files was containing old folder values so the vm doesn't start.
so i created a new vm using the existing hard disk.
the vm starts but hangs before the windows logo...
if i shut it down, and then restart, i get the message "windows didn't shutdown correctly etc..." if i select "start normally" or any other option, it does the same, hangs before seeing the win xp logo.

any help would be very appreciated.

thanks,

guillaume

auto reply.
the "Activate IO-APIC" option was disabled, seems to fix my problem.
