Win XP Guest freezes at Safe Mode login

Post by ostieca »

Hi there,

Just joined the community and learning about virtualization. I'm running into an issue and I'm seeking assistance to resolve it.

Issue: Guest Win XP Pro SP3 x86 with 1536MB RAM is freezing at login screen when started in Safe Mode. Normal mode shows no freeze or error.
How it was found: Need to install Guest Additions with 3D support.
Host: Win 7 Pro SP1 x64 with 4GB RAM, VB 4.3.10 r93012 with Extension Pack

The original OVA file was found on the company's intranet, so I don't have the details about how it was made. I'm including the log file.
Thanks.

Code: Select all

00:00:11.958582 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#0: IDLE IMMEDIATE, CmdIf=0xef (-1 usec ago)
00:00:11.958628 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#0: aborting current command
00:00:11.958812 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#1: IDLE IMMEDIATE, CmdIf=0xef (-1 usec ago)
00:00:11.958827 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#1: aborting current command
Never seen this kind of info in the log before, but doesn't look good.
I would forget that custom image you found on the intranet and make one yourself...
