No subject

to the actual boot process starting, the vm consumes 150% of my
processors. Some things are going in an endless loop there?

I use the same architecture as you are: amd64 with a dual core processor.
The VM is set up as amd64 as well. It does not make a difference if I
run the vm with one or two processors (only that with one processor
the vm consumes 100% of that processor while boot is failing, cant do
more, can it? ;) )
