I'm trying to boot a linux native setup through VirtualBox, but it doesn't seem to work as expected.
I'm running Windows 10 host with VirtualBox 5.2.
I've created a new virtual machine without hard drive.
Hard drive was then created with foloowing command:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox> .\VBoxManage.exe internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename "C:\Users\username\Virtual
Box VMs\vmname\disk.vmdk" -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0
If it matters, SSD has 3 partitions: /, /home and swap. First two are encrypted with a passphrase.
When I boot VM, after "VM Welcome screen" I only see black screen with blinking cursor. CPU load goes up to ~30% but nothing happens.
VM log at this moment says "00:00:04.552170 VMMDev: Guest Log: BIOS: Booting from Hard Disk...".
Nothing else happens, even hard drive usage icon is not blinking duren the black screen. I've waited for 20 minutes and had to terminate the VM.
Would appretiate any tip or advise on how to make it work.
