If the VM is powered on via the API (and VirtualBox UI not running) then the guest OS seems to get stuck on boot. If I then open VirtualBox UI, the booting eventually continues. It doesn't happen every time, but maybe 1 in 2 or 3 attempts.
Setup:
Hardware: Surface Go 3, 2 Core 1.1 GHz, 4 GB RAM
Host OS: Windows 11, 23H2 64 bit
Guest OS: Ubuntu 20.04 64 bit, 2 CPU, 768 MB RAM, Default paravirtualisation
VirtualBox: 7.0.12 and extension pack 7.0.12.
Don't believe I have guest additions installed as 'VBoxClient not found'
What I tried:
- Removed VirtualBox (as it was upgraded from 7.0.6) and performed a clean install of 7.0.12 which didn't help.
- Changed number of processors to 1 which appeared to help (didn't reproduce in 3 attempts)
Questions:
- Could the fact that the CPU(s) are at 100% when the command is sent has any impact?
- Should I disable HyperV as per viewtopic.php?t=92440, although I don't have 'Hyper-V in my list. Windows Hypervisor Platform is disabled.
- Or what other possible causes?
Log attached Appreciate any advice
