I managed to get it up and running. I run:

virsh edit the-domainname

Where "the-domainname" is the name of the virtual machine as seen by "Virtual Machine Manager".

Then, I edited this part:

hvm

to

hvm

This was the change that got this working. Prior to this I also changed the virtual processor in "View" > "Details" >"Processor" > "Configuration" by clicking on "Copy host CPU configuration".

So, the relevant part of the XML look like this now:

  
    hvm
    
  
  
    
    
    
  
  
    SandyBridge
    Intel
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  
  
  destroy
  restart
  restart

Hope this helps.

    Gonzalo A. Arana, your suggestion worked. I went ahead and remove the content of /PLATFORM and just added the one line you suggested: "platform=Z100 family=0xC0000000 host=Z100 systype=0x71" Right after I saved, it stopped the the emerg logger error: "May 6 13:09:04 localhost emerg logger: Re-starting chmand" I'm running VE LTM BigIP-11.3.0.39.0, this is on VirtualBox 5.0.16 r105871 on the Mac with El Capitan v10.11.3. Thanks for the suggestion.
