I am running Virtualbox 2.0.4 on a Windows Vista Home Premium / AMD Athlon 64 X2. I have successfully used it to install an Ubuntu 8.04 virtual appliance. However I am having trouble booting the openSolaris 2008.05 virtual appliance available on the Virtual Appliance marketplace from vendor smyl.

After attaching the opensolaris2008.05.vmdk disk as the primary IDE disk I start the virtual machine - I get as far as the opening "SunOS Release 5.11 ...." banner before the virtual machine resets and starts booting again. Any clues?
