From my testing, you can't use ibexahci.inf,Tcrkahci.inf,and cougahci.inf as they require msahci which is not included in windows xp. These drivers are for windows vista and above. I have no idea how you even got them to sysprep; when I try them on xp an error pops up when I attempt to run sysprep.
Also, you have a lot of duplicate entries in i2, i3 and i9 which maybe causing some other issues.

I haven't done anything with virtualbox lately, so I cant help you troubleshoot your slowness. I changed to vmware awhile back and have had good results with it. I do have a beefier system than what you have.
As for the continue/stop issue, I have never seen it get stuck in a loop. In order to get rid of those messages, I would have to remove the drivers that would cause the conflict. That would be a lot of hwids that wouldn't be included then.( I blame manufacturers for not making unique file names for files and/or universal drivers with all hwids.)
I will be redoing the pack shortly and will see what I can fix.

Vmware is great also even though it isn't free. I use it over virtualbox. It is also a great addition to your/my resume

I checked out a D600 and it uses the 8086:24CA. if you are using the sysprep.inf and the mass storage files that I linked you should have no problem.
I will have an updated version shortly that may help your issues, but it may be something with your process.

Glad it worked. You could always try a Windows 7 PE disk to grab your hwids. I am quite surprised you have all the lines for scsi in your sysprep. I haven't used or seen them in a long time.
Here is my 2010 syprep and mass storage : http://www.mediafire.com/?ep33ppd6z1rg7se
It has quite a bit more hwids if you end up needing them.

Dell 620 and D800 machines are common machines that I image at work. I don't have problems with the image that I use. Can you post your sysprep.inf?

If you are calling the mass storage drivers from the sysprep.inf, you do not need steps 14-20.
Remove detect non plug and play from step 24. It doesn't do anything anymore and it adds time to the sysprep process.

you can manually open the inf files and look in them to see which ones are contained in them
or
run Find Hwid's by kickarse on the folder, it will output a file with the hwids and what they are.

Download all the driverpacks and extract them to a folder.
Download Findhwids from kickarse -link provided  (http://www.mediafire.com/?8c2hh92s85ofqt2)
Start the program, choose where the driverpacks where extracted to, choose a path for the csv, and then hit start.
You should get a large csv file of all the hwids and vendors that exist in the packs.

Here is the stripped down version of the mass storage pack that I use with sysprep. Make sure that you put the M folder in C:\D otherwise it wont find the driver files. I have included my sysprep.inf so you can just copy and past it into yours.

1:  If the intelppm does not appear in the registry then you should not have to have a script to disable it. It wont be a problem if you restore it on an amd computer. You should also be looking in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\intelppm. This bug with intelppm is more suited for amd computers that were upgraded with sp2/3 and that the original image was created on an intel pc. I would assume that since you are going with an image that you would have SP3 and the latest servicepack already integrated, thereby negating the problem. (Of all the images that I have created and the thousands of computers that I have restored, I have never seen this error).

2:I use disk to image with ghost. Partition to image does not work.

3: You can only use offlinesysprep if you wish to integrate all of the drivers from the driverpacks mass storage. If you don't want to use offlinesysprep, you can use sysprep's way of loading drivers but you are limited in how many drivers can be loaded. The drivers in the driver pack consist of ide, sata, scsi and fibre channel drivers. For the desktops that I encounter, I only use ide and sata. My images use the sysprep way and only load the ide/sata drivers. If you choose to go this way I can provide the sysprep entries and modified mass storage pack.

4: Since you are fixing mostly major oem brands of computers ( dell, HP, etc) you should be using Oem pre-activated XP. All major oems use this kind of XP. You should not be using the COA sticker key. Since the OEM XP is preactivated, you will not run into the 30 day issue. ( If you dont believe me, grab a Dell XP restore cd, load it up on your inspiron b120. You will see that its activated once windows is finished. Grab magicjellybean keyfinder and you will see that the xp key doesnt match the coa sticker) Explaining OEM pre-activation is best for another post.

Other thoughts: You can't change sata to ide mode on every computer so you definitely need to integrated the drivers somehow. There is also a performance hit if you go that route.
As for the hal changing, I use the offlinesysprep to do the hal change. It works most (95%) of the time. I always use the base image with the ACPI PC hal.

Try to add this to sysprep.inf:
