I have installed Virtual Box 6.1.4 with a Fedora 33 linux guest. When the Fedora guest boots, I get a black screen with a white cursor.

I have tried changing various options:
  • amount of video memory (currently 128 MB)
    number of of vCPUs (currently 2)
    graphics controller (VSVGA etc)
    IO-APIC
    Host I/O cache
    PAE/NX
    Hardware virtualisation
    Paravirtualization interface
but none help.

Intel virtualization is turned on in the BIOS.
Hyper-V is turned off in the Windows host.
When the VM tries to start, the green turtle is displayed at the bottom of the window which indicates Hyper-V is active

Can somebody please check my log files (attached) for any problems?
