[opensuse-factory] 11.3M1 fails to install in VirtualBox

Hi folks,

I've been trying to install 11.3M1 into a VirtualBox VM but every
installation i've tried hangs at "Loading basic drivers..." immediately
after selecting "Installation" on the boot screen. No keys work, screen
freezes.

I have another machine which I dup'ed from 11.2 to factory and that
works in the same virtualbox, so I don't think its a major kernel
incompatibility.

I'm running VirtualBox 3.1.4BETA2. I've tried Milestone 1 netinstall +
DVD, and build 437 netinstall, i586.

Does anyone have a successful install of 11.3 in VirtualBox?
Can anyone tell me how to get more info on what modules the kernel is
trying to load? None of the other VTs are active yet at the stage where
it hangs...
Are there any kernel options I should try? I already tried nolapic,
noacpi, and the "Failsafe" kernel.

I've seen some old bug reports on bnc that never seemed to have been
resolved, but I would guess that they're not related.

Regards,
Tejas
