Host: Ubuntu 11.04x64 (classic mode if that matters at all)
Guest: Debian 7.0 testing (Wheezy)x64
The install of Wheezy went fine, but once I get to the login screen I seem unable to go any further. The machine is not frozen (the clock on the login screen updates), but neither the mouse nor keyboard seem to respond to input. I rebooted to recovery mode (which works) and remove the guest additions that come with Debian, rebooted still stuck. I think installed the guest additions that come with Virtualbox, same result. I've toggled every option I can think of and I still get this issue. Any ideas?

Re: Debian Wheezy Guest and Input Problems
Just an update, I went and grabbed a new install CD (this time the network installer) with the assumption it was something to do with the install. I wiped out the old install and made a new one - still locks up on me in exactly the same way. Really, any ideas guys?

Re: [SOLVED] Debian Wheezy Guest and Input Problems
Ok, I finally ran across the solution to this problem. Apparently, there is a bug with the Wheezy install that causes udev to freak out and kill off access to most things. The solution was to boot into recovery mode and move /run to /run.disabled (or some such thing) so that udev doesn't execute. Not sure what the long term negative effects of this are...
