I'm having the following problem on my guest OS's intermittently(I would say about 30-40% of the time). I issue an OS related restart, IE install a Windows application, or start/run restart from the start menu and Windows shutsdown. I would then expect the Virtual Box BIOS screen and a restart to occur, this never happens, the screen remains black.
Sometimes the machines reboot fine though.
I would like some advice of what I can start off by doing? IE is there certain logs, or logging I can enable?
Software:
Guest OS's - Are all Windows 2003 Standard Server SP1 or SP2
I have two HOST OS Machines running on different hardware:
Host 1:
Ubuntu 8.0.4 64bit- VBOX 1.6.6 64bit
There is no GUI on this machine and all Guest OS's run via VBoxHeadless
(when the issue happens on this machine it is worse, IF I kill the VBoxHEadless process and restart it, the network will not always grab an ip address until I reboot the box or down the network interface and bring it up again, on both machines Im using hostif networking)
Host 2:
Windows 2003 SP2 64bit - VBOX 1.6.6 64bit
All machines are being running through the VirtualBox OS
This issue has occured for me since earlier versions of Vbox(1.6.2) I beleive and with each upgrade I hope it goes away, but maybe something else is happening. Anyone have any tips of where I can start?
Guest OS's intermittently hang on reboot
Upgrade to 2.06?

I upgraded my Windows HOST Os to 2.0.6 and updated the VBox Tools to 2.0.6 and Im still encountering the issue. As I'm seeing the issue on two different peices of hardware/OS/multiple vbox versions.. I'm beginning to wonder if its an issue with the actual Guest OS I'm using. (The Guest OS is the same original image I have used acorss both machines, I have a blank Windows 2003 SP2 Image I make copies of when needed)

This is all I see in my log file for the Guest OS. at 00:19:38 I make a RDP connection to the Guest os.(It is running in headless mode) Ahortly after logging in I initiated a shutdown from the startmenu) Windows shutdown and the screen on my RDP session went black, I would expect to see a BIOS screen shortly and a reboot, but I never do. If I look at various log files, the behaviour seems similar, I think the following is logged when I iniate the shutdown:

Use more ram, 384 for w3k as guest is not enough.
