Hi,
i installed the SDK yesterday the first time. I have preinstalled VBox
4.3.22 and run into the same issue: Booting the VM end up in a black
screen, just showing some messages:
tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed
systemd-fsck[62]: system: clean, 23245/262144 files, 244244/1048575 blocks
piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade
BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
My quick and dirty workaround is to ssh into the VM and sudo reboot the
machine, then it will start without problems. I can see the same
warnings, but it won't pause. This procedure was reproducible multiple
times.
