Black Screen on Gentoo but not Ubuntu

Post by RaoulM »

Hi,
I am running VB 5.1.8 on both Gentoo and Ubuntu Xenial hosts and with a Win10 Guest. In Ubuntu everything works flawlessly even after latest upgrade (in last day or so). However, after the upgrade in Gentoo, upon startup, I get the windows symbol and the animated dot circle on a black background and then just a black background. No other changes made to Gentoo system.

VMs are located on a separate drive and I am using symlinks to point to the targets.

Any suggestions?
Regards
Raoul

What happens if you run the guest normally, without the symlinks?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
