Guest VM hangs before show "VirtualBox Logo" screen

Post by qinlz »

Host: Fedora 35
Guest VM: Windows 7 / CentOS / Ubuntu etc.

All the same failure behaviors.

=========================

Start a VM (e.g. Windows 7)
- Shows a black box (If disabled Nested Paging, then can a blinking cursor)
- Previously, I can see a "VirtualBox Logo" screen showing versions etc.
- But now, the screen is just stuck there.
-- 100% CPU for one core by VirtualBox
-- Logs shows

-- Can I get some instructions about how to debug this? (Such as using CLI?)

Stuck for one day already.

Thanks for your help!

Also tried:

- Remove VirtualBox plugin. (No impact)

- Reinstall VirtualBox from repo (No impact)

- Reinstall VirtualBox from downloaded RPM (latest version), (No impact)

==================
And when try to make a new VM:
- If using an non-exist 'iso' location, then it will pop up error message, can not find ISO
- If using a valid Ubuntu iso, then same thing, stuck with a black screen, not even show "VirtualBox Logo" screen.

Since it affects multiple VMs, make sure no other VM platform is running, e.g. KVM.

Otherwise, let's see a zipped VM log. Pick one VM. Make sure it is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Thanks for the help.

I solved the problem.

-- Seems related to either Nvidia driver or Docker in Fedora 35.
-- I removed all Nvidia drivers and Dockers (just docker container + desktop).

Then everything just start working fine.
