Vbox 7 Won't Boot Linux/Unix OS

Post by wesw »

Trying to boot install ISOs for FreeBSD 13 and Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 neither will boot in a VirtualBox 7 guest.

Here's the partial log from a boot of Ubuntu 22.04

(mod edit: partial log text wall removed)

Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
