Yup, worked for me. Have you ticked all the relevant options in the VM Settings?

  First stop in the System menu. Start with the Motherboard
  sub-menu and check Enable IO APIC to improve performance 
  for your virtual machine. In the Processor sub-menu check
  Enable PAE/NX (again, to boost performance). Finally under 
  the Acceleration sub-menu make sure both of the hardware 
  virtualization boxes are checked—VT-x/AMD-V and Nested 
  Paging, respectively.

Hadn't seen those, will give it a shot!
