This is an old bug but still seems to be relevant on Ubuntu 16.04, unfortunately. When booting from the Windows DVD to install a Windows 7 guest, the boot process hangs on "Starting Windows." By "hang" I don't mean a total hang - the Windows logo animation still pulses in & out. CPU usage is near zero, with no I/O activity. It just never actually gets past that to let me choose how to install Windows. This was with the default QXL display. Changing to Cirrus "fixed" the problem.
