From your logs I can see two "interesting" things. First, your processor is identified as "Intel Core2 Duo", but it is matched as "Intel Xeon". I'm not sure but this may lead to the second, which is a Guru Meditation Triple Fault error. For Guru Meditation errors, you should head to the
bugtracker and either search for an appropriate bug where you'll attach your logs and other vital information, or open a new bug report.

Are you trying to install Windows 8 (64bit)? Or is it actually Windows 8.1 (64 bit)? The two are different, and require different OS version templates.
The Xeon family identification is not unusual. The CPU product name is something of a marketing decision, not necessarily mandated by the actual CPU family.

Than you, Socratis and mpack.
In fact, it's Windows 8.1 (64 bit) wich I' m trying to install.
I will search in the bug tracker.

Enough for me.
