Windows 10 installer freezes on boot

Post by Pawelo »

Hi,

im trying to install Windows 10 on headless virtual machine under Ubuntu LTS. Tryied multiple setting, no matter what I do Windows (32 or 64 bit) installer just show Windows logo and nothing more happens. On host 1 core is 100% cpu load and thats it.
When mounted Ubuntu iso, everything is perfectly fine installing.

I got no idea what is wrong.
I'll be very grateful for any help.

Virtualization is bios enabled,

virtualbox/xenial-updates,now 5.0.36-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 amd64
virtualbox-dkms/xenial-updates,xenial-updates,now 5.0.36-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 all

You are using the Ubuntu fork of VirtualBox and if you want to continue to use their version you need to ask them. Otherwise you would need to remove theirs and install the official version from virtualbox.org along with the matching extension pack.

Yes, so i uninstalled it, then installed newest VirtualBox from virtualbox official, just like "Debian-based Linux distributions" instruction says. Then VirtualBox Extension Pack and configured my VBox again. When runned Windows installer it magically works.
Thx for guide.
