I got the same thing! I had to roll back to 6.0.4. Hopefully we're not the only ones.

Hopefully you are the only ones! @"kylef", is your host Arch as well? Always state Host, Guest, VirtualBox. Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance.

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Not sure if I should move this to the "Windows Guests" section yet, this might indeed be an Arch issue.

Windows 7 boots directly into a bluescreen (see attached screenshot). I am not able to boot into a Windows 7 guest, that worked perfectly well with virtualbox 6.0.4. So this seems like a regressions to me.
Does anybody else have any issues with Windows 7? My guest has 2 CPUs assigned. The host has 4 cores and 8 threads.

I cannot even boot into safe mode. The bluescreen appears immediately.

@skoehler
I merged your post with an existing thread. I do need a ZIPPED "VBox.log" from you too.
You should have known the drill by now... ;)

Is there a workaround to make the VM boot? Are only Linux hosts affected?

I experienced the same issue upgrading to 6.0.6.
Had to downgrade to 6.0.4.

I'm also using Arch. Could the problem be related to the Arch Linux build?

Absolutely!!! To begin with, it's not the official r130049, but an older one, r129722.

I suggest you all try the official one from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads, the "All Distributions" one: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtual ... _amd64.run. See if that works...

The build seems to be based on the official source tarball, but certain patches are applied on top of it:
