CRUX 2.5 CD-ROM fails to boot

Description
When booting the CRUX 2.5 ISO, it stops at "Loading modules... IDE" and VirtualBox crashes. The bug occurs on Windows and Linux hosts for me.
When booting the CD-ROM with "CRUX noide" it boots successfully.
As a side node, the CRUX 2.5 ISO works fine with QEMU and also on real hardware.

It now also happens with the newest Arch Linux (i.e. with the latest updates installed), right after it says "Loading udev..." while booting.

Actually this is a duplicate of #2696. The CD boots fine with VT-x/AMD-V enabled. Mormegil, you have a Pentium D which should be capable of VT-x. You should check your BIOS and enable VT-x there. bughunter, I fear there is nothing you can do so far as you AMD CPU doesn't have AMD-V support. We are aware of that bug and are working on a fix.

Thanks :)
BTW: For other users experiencing this bug with an Arch Linux guest, there is a simple work-around: the 2009.02 Arch ISO does boot, so if you boot from that, and then chroot into your installation, you can use your Arch Linux system.
(chroot can be done like this for example: mount /dev/sdaX /mnt && mount /dev/sdaY /mnt/boot && mount /dev/sdaZ /mnt/home && mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc && mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && chroot /mnt /bin/bash)
Could you add the VBox.log file of such a crashing session?
