Tom is right, something funny is going on here. We see the VSA 
decompressed to buf 0x00060000 which is a good place for VSA. Then we 
don't see an error that VSA isn't found. That means that it found the 
first post code as expected.

The next part is very strange. The int 0x18 should be int 0x15 and as 
Tom points out, cs should be 0x6000 not 0x1000. What and why does it 
think it is at cs 0x1000.

Can you try using vsmsetup.c instead of  vm86.c? Something looks strange 
in the reporting. ebp 0x60000000. Are the variables aligned on the stack 
correctly? Is this debug info correct? Are we being mislead?
This looks suspicious in callbiosint()
        "    movw    $0x18, %ax          \n"


Also,
case 0x15:
        ret=handleint21( &edi, &esi, &ebp, &esp,
                &ebx, &edx, &ecx, &eax, &flags);

Please call it handleint15 it it handle int15.

Finally, the int0x15 will be removed from the next VSA.
