We think we finally found and fixed the problem. Could you install this test build and check if your guest boots now?

I tried this with Ubuntu 13.10 server and it works. So many thanks for that.
Out of curiosity I also tried Ubuntu 14.04 server and it failed in the same way. (this is not a major issue for me as 13.10 serves my purpose, but I include the log from the 14.0-4 attempt.)

Sorry. I posted the above in error.
Somehow, the installation I made was a 32bit server. (accidental selection)
Having tried again today to install 64bit 13.10, I get same issues as previously. Log attached.

We were able to reproduce the problem. It exists only on certain hardware. We are working on a fix.
I noticed in the log
"00:00:01.114582 CPUM: Matched host CPU INTEL 0xf/0x6/0x4 Intel_NB_CedarMill with CPU DB entry 'Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz' (INTEL 0xf/0x4/0x3 Intel_NB_Prescott2M)."
the actual CPU is Intel Xeon DP 5050 (Code Name Dempsey)
