Hi Olivier hvc0 is the xen serial console (probably a relic from an AWS config), so it looks like a bug from bootstrap-vz. I guess if the console points to a non-existing device the kernel will refuse to boot ? BTW for interrupting I thought it would be possible to press Shift when starting the Box in GUI mode. Does that work on VirtualBox ?
