I'm looking for any update on this. I'm having this same problem installing Symantec Endpoint Protection, as my company has required. I am running VirtualBox 1.6.2 on a Fedora 9 Linux host (x86_64).
The Symantec install seems to have mostly completed, but now when I boot, I don't even get to the login screen. I just get 3 "such and such crashed" dialogs, and then a hang. The first and third of the dialogs are reporting failures of services.exe.
I can boot into safe mode to look at the Symantec software, and I was able to uninstall "Live Update" via Add/Remove Programs. I cannot remove Symantec Endpoint Protection, because it attempts to contact the Windows Installer Service, which is not running in safe mode.

Rebooting the windows xp virtual host using the "Last Known Good Configuration" allowed me to uninstall the Symantec Endpoint Protection software, and the host is now working.
Can I provide any more information on the problem?

- Version changed from VirtualBox Solaris Beta 1 to VirtualBox 1.6.2
- Component changed from other to VMM
- Guest type changed from other to Windows
Do you have VT-x enabled for this VM session? If not, activate it and check if that makes any difference. Check with the VM session dialog if VT-x or AMD-V is actually enabled (the VM will silently fall back to normal mode if the feature is not present in your CPU or disabled in the BIOS). Please attach the VBox.log file of a VM session with VT-x or AMD-V enabled.

Same issue, same error message as pfragniere. Running VBox 2.0.4 on imac (model identifier iMac8,1). New Clean install of XP SP2 followed by Windows Update, then install sav 11 .
VT-x & AMD-V are grayed out under Settings | General | Advanced .
As with cross, was able to remove SAV by rebooting to Last Known Good Configuration and uninstalling Symantec Enpoint Protection.
Am attaching screen capture of VBox settings FYI.

Update on 11/17/08: installed an older copy of SAV: Symantec Anti-Virus 10.1.5. No problems encountered. Appears to be working properly. Problems appear to be specific to SAV 11, Symantec Endpoint protection.
