I enabled IO_APIC and it got past that point of hanging. I'll let you know how it goes.

Oh Sorry Eric, I didn't read the AMD error message carefully enough.

This appears to be a AMD issue and the only way around is by Enabling IO APIC:

Again from the Virtualbox forums! Ask the correct source and Viola!

Hello all,
I am trying to install RHEL5 within a Virtualbox instance on my windows pc. It hangs at this line:

NET: Registered protocol family 2

Has anyone successfully installed RHEL5 in Virtualbox? What settings did you use?
I've attached a screen shot of the hanging line.

Thanks,
Eric

Try:

Under boot:
type: linux acpi=off
enter

It can also be due to your VIA CPU - which only VirtualBox developers can help you with:
