Description
After the grub bootup choice, it just freezes.
I first tried http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/appliances/soas2-20090401.tar.gz.
Then I tried older snapshots. Soas2-appliance vdmks boot up, but only with 2.6.29-0.258.2.3.rc7*. They don't boot with *rc8* either.

I encountered the same problem.
It seems that the reason is that /boot/grub/grub.conf sets initrd to /boot/initrd-uname -r.img, but there is no initrd image file in /boot/!
I was able to get it to boot by deleting the initrd line using the Grub interactive editing menu.
Anyway, after all that I was still unable to get it to boot properly. It gets through firstboot alright, but subsequently fails to start Sugar. You can get to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) but I haven't figure out where to go from there to fix it.

The Soas2-appliance images have undergone major changes. From what I hear on the MLs, the latest snapshots have been confirmed to be booting successfully in VirtualBox and VMware.

Bulk change distribution=SoaS -> component=SoaS
I tried the latest soas appliance (soas2-20090403) and I get the same problem.
I also tried disabling all VirtualBox speed-up options (3D, VT-x, IO APIC, etc.), same problem.
