Hello,
I can't get VirtualBox booting my linux guests, here is some context:
- using Fedora 21 on a thinkpad x1 carbon 2015
- I'm completely new to Fedora
- and trying to setup my VMs as I had on my previous computer (debian on macbook 2008)
symptoms:
- host GUI will freeze at some point,
- I could not regain control of the computer by killing processes, or even trying to reboot. The only thing I could get working was to hold the power button.
I've installed VirtualBox via the rpmfusion-free repo and the virtualbox repo, same problem.
I've seen users used to have problem with the same computer / proc in ticket #13820, but the fix has been released, so it should not be related.
Also I've tried to install a debian (netinst) with default VBox options, and the freeze happened during the partition formatting step (each time I tried).
At that point I don't know if I lack basic admin skills to fix an obvious misconfiguration or if it's a virtualbox bug, or a Fedora one, so I'm begging for power user insight!
