EXITBS:START Error on AMD Zen 2 CPU #603

Hi!

On AMD Zen 2 CPUs, the installer gets stuck with "EXITBS:START". One needs to set a cpu-profile in order for the installation to work. E.g. VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --cpu-profile "Intel Xeon X5482 3.20GHz"

Could you include a check in your script for future users? Thanks

Sorry, CPU checks are not planned to be implemented due to the vast number of CPUs out there.

Changing CPU profile did not help me at all on my AMD Ryzen 3600 (Zen 2). I only managed to solve this problem using a bunch of commands from this article

Changing the CPU profile being emulated definitely works, installed just fine on my 3700X a couple months ago
