What cpu are you using?

I have two machines with different cpus. Both Ubuntu 9.10 and VirtualBox 3.0.10. VirtualBox appears to work fine with the AMD cpu. On the Intel Xeon E5410, which still uses the "amd64" kernel, I have the exact problem reported here. I received three crash reports for the one virtual machine failure.

BUG: scheduling while atomic: VirtualBox/0x00000001/4183, CPU#1
BUG: scheduling while atomic: VirtualBox/0x00000001/4183, CPU#2

The tips in the above forum post only partially worked for me. I am unable to install a new 64 bit guest.
A 32 bit guest install appears to have worked.
