[Solved] Booting into Linux (Debian) gets black screen

This is my third attempt at creating a Debian VM through virtualbox today. The system seems to be entirely unresponsive upon boot; pressing keys/etc doesn't accomplish anything.

Things I've tried:
- 4gb of ram has been allocated.
- Hardware virtualization is enabled (AMD-V)
- Using 1, 2, and 4 CPU cores
- 64mb video memory allocated
- Enabling 3D acceleration
And a variety of other things.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I've somewhat reached the end of my troubleshooting capabilities.

SOLUTION:

As far as I can tell, this appears to be a problem with installing Cinnamon as the desktop for Debian. I'm not sure if this is the case, but simply re-installing the full Debian iso using xfce this time (as opposed to Cinnamon) allowed for the VM to boot.

Hi - thank you very much for your advice. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I was able to solve the problem, but due to a lack of space I already deleted the logs. I'll edit what worked for me into the original post.
