Running VirtualBox 4.2.12 with guest additions on Windows 8 64-bit host. Trying to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 guest - however I'm getting a blank screen after I select English as my language during the initial install setup. I've attached my log files. Thanks!

How long did you wait? Log shows 3.9 seconds.
Does the md5 checksum match?

md5 checksums match. I waited at least a couple minutes - a few days ago I waited for around 20. No luck with other distros either.

Sorry, I don't do Windows 8 hosts so I'll leave this to someone that does. It must have something to do with the new UEFI because your settings should work. Speaking about that. I have read that you have to have special versions of Linux to work with the new UEFI but I don't know if that is a BIOS thing or not.
