[Solved] VB Freeze on Start on new Appliance, Log File Attached

[JPQuinn]

Hello, I'm on a MacOS 10.14.2, and have installed VirtualBox for Mac 5.2.22, and imported an Appliance EndPointProtector 5 successfully. When I go to start the new VM, it starts up, but then freezes up, and I have to shut it down or stop it, it doesn't fully boot up. I've attached a log file that I captured while I started the VB up, then started the VM up, then shut down the frozen VM, and got the log file (zipped, too large otherwise). Looking for help in why it freezes, trying to get it to fully boot up in VB. Thank you

OK, I figured it out...

I downloaded Endpoint Protector 5 - V 5.1.0.2 and imported it. Then I went ahead and changed what *I* consider the defaults to be, and it worked. I re-imported it and didn't change any settings, and it failed. And going through each and every setting, I figured out where the problem was; the audio card. Change the audio card from "ICH AC97" to "Intel HDA" and the VM boots!

BTW, it doesn't "freeze", it gets stuck right when it's about to initialize the audio and it can't, but it's still running. You can see that from the blinking cursor when that happens, right after the lines:

.....

* Stopping nginx - small, powerful, scalable web/proxy server            [ OK ]

Yes, this is fantastic, it worked. Thank you very much. I also tried to do the same in my Parallels PVM version, however its not so easy to get at the audio card setting there, but thats not important, I can boot up. It does give an immediate error about console, but wait a short bit, then it goes to an eppserver login. I'll find out what's that about as I progress throughthe course. Again, thank you
