Description
Host: Windows 7, 64-bit, VBox 3.0.10, Core 2 Q6600, VT-x = on.
RHEL 3.9, 64-bit guest fails to load from CD. It has kernel panic right after the bootloader.
For testing you can use CentOS, which is free.

My other host: Intel Core i7 965, Windows XP 32-bit SP2, VBox 3.0.10.
OK, enabling PAE allows RHEL 3.9 64-bit to run. Basically VBox should enable PAE for all 64-bit guests, because all 64-bit hardware has PAE too... (so guest OSes may require it).
To resolve this issue, we need to enable PAE for all 64-bit VMs.

update: guest still fails 50% of the time - with kernel panic. Even with VT-x and PAE enabled.

update2: Moreover, PAE does not help the situation. The VM fails 50% of the time no matter if PAE is on/off or if EPT is on/off.

Are you sure ?!
Look at the attached log file. It clearly shows 64-bit VM without PAE. The VBox GUI shows the same.
415 00:00:02.090 Mnemonic - Description = guest (host)
422 00:00:02.090 PAE - Physical Address Extension = 0 (1)

I'm 100% sure. PAE is enabled dynamically as you can see below that part: CPUMSetGuestCpuIdFeature: Enabled PAE
