Fail: Installing current ArchLinux ISO on current VirtualBox (Win 8.1)

Hello there,

perhaps anybody of you can help me?

I am running a Sony Notebook on Win 8.1 and want to run current Arch Linux within a VirtualBox (fresh updates applied).

But it won't work.

For networking tadaa I've installed dhcpsrv 2.5.1 which is running save and sound for sure (tried with a Debian client).

Albeit, starting the current Arch Linux ISO ends in:

[  OK  ] Mounted Temporary Directory.
[  OK  ] Mounted Huge Pages File System.
[  OK  ] Started Load Kernel Modules.
[  OK  ] Started Remount Root and Kernel File Systems.
[  OK  ] Started Create list of required sta...ce nodes for the current kernel.
[  OK  ] Started Setup Virtual Console.

and then: nothing. For obvious reasons, I cannot share logs or dumps or the like...

Any idea what is wrong here?

Thank you!

Hi !

I am newbie - so, take my statements not as the truth ...

I had a similar problem using VBox v4.2.xx
Then I registered, that this might be in some way related to kernel features.
I updated VBox to 5.0.8 and was able to run the installation.

But the latter for itself, fails at thousends steps.

Best regards,
Manfred
