I had a very similar problem with 2.6.12-bb10 and -bb12 (host running
2.6.13.2-skas3-v9-pre7) on a dual CPU P4 machine (SMP enabled). As you
did, I found that disabling swap helped, as did reducing the memory size
on the kernel command line from 340m to 160m. When I changed the guest
kernel to 2.6.13-bs4, the problem went away. However, given that you are
running a newer kernel I'm not sure that this helps you at all.

Cheers,
Paul
