Windows 3.11 not working with hardware virtualization

Description
If you install MSDOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 in a Virtualbox machine, Windows 3.11 cannot start when hardware virtualization is enabled (mandatory in VB 6.1). The same virtual machine works OK in VB 6.0 with the hardware virtualization disabled. Windows 3.1 is not affected, only Windows 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups). Is there any workaround for this problem?

Sorry, I just found that disabling "Nested paging" makes Windows 3.11 work with hardware virtualization enabled. I do not know why, but it works for me!
