I did try virtio but I don't recall the result. I will retry and let you know.
I added a serial console a VirtualBox machine and switched to it at boot>.
Below is a log you asked for of the hang I get with an e1000, 4GB of ram, 100gb
IDE disk 4 processors.

Have you tried virtio network instead of e1000? Also, it would be helpful
if you could somehow post the full console output from the boot, either by
redirecting it to a serial console, or if it does not hang all the time by
doing dmesg via ssh.

Stefan
