Ah, it feels good to be back after my long absence 🙂

Anyway, this is in Oracle VirtualBox 3.2.6 with 1GB RAM and 64MB Video RAM and 3D acceleration enabled.

Milestone 2 pre2 doesn't boot after install (it just hangs at the bootsplash), though Live CD mode works. I have tried with IO APIC both on and off. I am in the process of downloading the weekly snapshot.

The development snapshot yields the same result.

Welcome back 🙂

You say that hangs just after the boot: you don't have any other hint?

You've tried to start in debug mode?

Apparently, it can't access device dev(0,0) , nor can kinit find init . Also, it complains of something trying to access the hardware directly (this is a computer that doesn't always have Internet access, my current Internet access is very intermittent).

I'm going to test a VirtualBox installation to see and fix this as this problem should happen independently from hardware.
