Thanks for testing that, Paulo. That kind of testing can help to isolate possible fixes.

[Bug 508777] Re: virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot
This bug stops some people from being able to test Lucid. The F6 acpi workaround (worked for me) needs to be put in various release notes. I hope that some version of virtualbox-ose that fixes this bug (3.1.5+?) also gets into Karmic soon. The Karmic one is currently at version 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Installing the upstream 3.1.4 package did not solve the bug for me, but for the record, here's the direct link to the bug: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6100 Booting the image with acpi=off (by pressing F6 and checking the option in the Ubuntu bootloader) as suggested there as a workaround did allow me to boot the image with virtualbox-ose 3.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1 (the Lucid one). ** Bug watch added: Virtualbox Trac #6100 http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6100 -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 508777] Re: virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot
Hi, It seems to be a kernel bus in 2.6.32. I updated my VirtualBox to version 3.1.4 (sic !) which includes a workaround for a bug in the 2.6.32 kernel, virtualization part. See bug 6100 of virtualbox. Not alpha2 of lucid boots, well at least I see other problems. So I think this problem should be solved upstream.

[Bug 508777] Re: virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot
I've had similar experiences. My machine does not have hardware virtualization support, and Lucid images were working fine in Virtualbox up to a point. Now they can only start the bootloader, and whenever I try "Try Ubuntu without installing" or "Install Ubuntu", the VM hangs with 100% CPU usage. That's with either the desktop or alternate CDs, and I could reproduce it both in Karmic and Lucid host systems with different virtualbox versions. There's also bug 518745, which might be a duplicate. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 508777] Re: virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot
Confirmed. Installation of Lucid works fine (Image: lucid- alternate-i386.iso, 15.01.2010). After updating to the machine booting is no longer possible. The problem does not seem to be kernel related though. The machine hangs directly after "grub loading", before I get the chance to select a kernel. The initial image contained kernel 2.6.32-10 (booted fine), after the update I have 2.6.32-12 (additional). The machine hangs before I have the chance to select either kernel. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I confirm #7, but with Alpha 2. It boots off the original .iso but then fails after I upgrade packages. It's gotta be a funky kernel. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 508777] Re: virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot
If i install alpha1, then apt-get upgrade, there is no problem. If I do apt-get dist-upgrade, machine freezes. Booting with a recovery cd, and changing GRUB to let me select which kernel to boot, and choosing the old (2.6.32-7) kernel, everything is fine. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upgraded to SUN VirtualBox 3.1.2 r56127 on karmic, same problem -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 508777] Re: virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot
My experience is slightly different. I upgraded VirtualBox on XP to 3.1.2 and Alpha 1 ran OK on it. I then did a fresh install of Alpha 2. This worked until I installed the first batch of updates. Then I got the failure to boot as described by Paulo (black screen with a white underscore on the upper-left corner). So I then did a fresh install of Alpha2 (same iso as before) hoping it would boot, but it does not. -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 508777] Re: virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot
This is a problem with the Ubuntu Image, not with the Virtual Box package that is being distributed. I had similar symptoms, so I went to Windows XP and installed the last version of VirtualBox Free Edition (not Open Source). I tried to boot the Lucid ISO (and yes the checksum was ok). The initial menu came out OK, but after selecting "Try Ubuntu without Installing" or "Install Ubuntu" all I got was a black screen with a white underscore on the upper-left corner. Maybe this has something to do with the introduction of Plymouth? -- virtualbox: Lucid alpha2 does not boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
