Unable to start the Linux VM on Solaris Host

I have installed SUSE Linux over virtualBox 4.3.2.r90405 on top of Solaris host.

An extension package is installed to access this VM headless.

VBoxManage list extpacks
Extension Packs: 1
Pack no. 0: Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
Version: 4.3.2
Revision: 90405
Edition:
Description: USB 2.0 Host Controller, Host Webcam, VirtualBox RDP, PXE ROM with E1000 support.
VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP
Usable: true
Why unusable:


When I RDP it, even though the connection gets established with say windows remote desktop client, it never is able to access and display the machine. All other machines with similar configuration are OK.

netstat -an | grep 3389
*.3389 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
*.3389 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
10.17.47.93:3389 10.28.12.95:58959 130816 0 49640 0 ESTABLISHED
*.3389 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN


The problem is that the machine won't start and I want to see what is going on with the boot.

Attach the full VM log for the failed session (from start to stop of the VM) as well as the complete VM config. What you provided so far doesn't give any clue to what is wrong.

From your hint, I was able to point out the RDP issue to authType=External set in this machine, which prevented successful authentication. For others, I have type=null set. Setting same solved the issue. Thanks for that.

The new one looks more like an OS thing now. It gets freezed afer loading AHCI. Is there a way to check it further. Sorry that, I can't fetch the logs, don't have access to them at the moment.

Once you have the log, I'll be able to give more accurate answers. For now, your guess is as good as mine.
If it blocks at ACPI, did you change the ACPI setting since the install of the VM?
