centos6 vm frozen during bootup[solved]

Post by jamescchao »

Hi,

ENV: windows8.1 host, guest centos 6.5, virtualbox 4.3.14

I did a windows reboot while the vm is running (I forgot it is running). Some messages pop-up and remind me that it is still running. I tried to save it but I saw some errors. I didn't pay too much attention. After the reboot, the vm stops after the centos blue/white line grows from the left to the right, then it is frozen. I don't know what's wrong and what message I need to help people analyze the problem. Log is attached.

The log does not show an issue, which is a bad thing for you really. This usually means the guest is corrupt somehow. Try using the recovery to see if it can be salvaged or replace with your backup.

Thanks for checking the log. I found out the root cause after you help to rule out the vbox. It was an init.d script I added holding up the startup process.
