I noticed that if I enable IO-APIC in the VM settings (under "System") the 4.8.4 kernel works, if it's disabled it immediately reboots after the kernel is loaded. Maybe this helps in finding the problem? Also I noticed when booting the LiveCD that this message shortly is displayed after the kernel is loaded, before the system reboots: "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... OK" (I don't see that message when booting the Tumbleweed installation) edd=off doesn't help though (it only makes this message disappear).
