VirtualBox hangs when loading bootable medium

Hello, guys, My first post here
I have arch as a host. Also have installed virtualbox and virtualbox-host-modules-arch, loaded to kernel vboxdrv. My user is in vboxusers group..
The problem is when i'm trying to install any (Arch, *buntu, Windows etc.) system with iso as a guest, VB hangs right on the stage of loading data from the medium. No messages when VB started from terminal even with --debug option, no messages from VB at all, no leads in dmesg, just nothing to see what is the problem.
May i ask for a bit of help to solve this?

Re: VirtualBox hangs when loading bootable medium

Are you using physical media in a real drive, or are you mounting an iso file?
