Robert,

Both systems are x86_64.
No, grub menu does not show up. In fact there are just a couple more text
lines before "Booting from Hard Disk..." and the whole process hangs after
that.
I've run build again with ' 2>&1 | tee disk-image-create.output' and
attached the output file.

Thanks,

Dmitry
