VirtualBox cannot start guest VMs

Description

A few days ago I had to do a hard reboot with VirtualBox running and some VMs started. Now, VirtualBox cannot start a VM at all. I've tried upgrading to 4.1.8 and then I purged VirtualBox from my system and re-install but with the same results. I found the trace given below with demsg. I've also attached the VBox logs from my latest attempt. Not sure that this is necessarily VirtualBox related, but any idea about what the issue is?

Thanks.

Looks like KVM was getting in the way of VirtualBox in this case. I removed the kvm and kvm_intel modules and blacklisted them. I found the details here:

Right, this is a bug in the KVM modules of older Linux kernels. In some later kernel this was fixed, that is, the VT-x root mode is not entered before a KVM VM is started.
