Guest hangs from GUI

[ctgscott]

Hi all,

I am trying to boot a Homestead-7 box and am struggling. After identifying that the vagrant boot methods were not working I moved the troubleshooting to vbox gui. Starting it manually, the guest homestead-7 box begins booting and then hangs before showing any output on the virtual screen. Below are the last few lines of the log file and I have attached the full log file. I then created a new box with the same attributes and using the same virtual disk as Homestead and it boots perfectly. I have gone through all the settings (including virtualization, storage, cpu... etc), particularly the ones I thought likely to cause a box to fail at what appears to be the screen or GUI sizing. Starting in 'headless' hangs also.

Any thoughts? My apologies for calling on your expertise. I have worked hard to sort this out myself.

Here is the last bit of log file when starting with a screen

Vagrant is a program that relies on VirtualBox, but modifies its configuration files in unknown ways to us, and with unknown consequences, especially the networking part. It is not supported on these VirtualBox forums/channels, they have their own Vagrant support channels. If you are having this problem with a standalone version of VirtualBox (after a complete uninstallation of Vagrant), then we can continue this discussion.
