Hi,
I keep getting this mount/ unmount /dev/sda going on when I try to set up my linux machine inside vbox. I had linux running on here before but something went wrong. So I ended up deleting everything and starting over.
1)I opened vbox.
2)installed the extension pack under settings
3)click on new machine and created one (as I have done before)
4)open the new machine to set it up
5)the Kali setup choices comes up
6)click install
***and that where the screen goes through the process and then says ... mount: mounting /dev
unmount: cannot unmount inv argument.
it will cont. on to language? but if I keep going with the install it gets to about 80% & fails.
What do I have to do to get the install to run all the way through??
Mount unmount /dev/sda FAIL..??

Compress the log file if it's too big.
FWIW, I just installed Kali 2.0 in OSX without a problem.
