Yes, I am able to start the VM using the VirtualBox GUI and it works
absolutely fine. But when I do vagrant up, the VM gets created but does
not get powered on for some reason That is why I suspected the issue to
be with vagrant and reported the bug against it.

Does Vagrant require the features provided by the non-free ext-pack?
From what I have seen when reproducing this bug, it looks like it does.
Because there were no errors after installing virtualbox-ext-pack and
doing nothing else.

Right now I am at office and am on my Macbook. So will share the vagrant
debug logs if it is helpful to analyze the problem from the side of vagrant.

Not sure if this is helpful, but before I installed the vagrant package
from the Debian repository, I was using the 1.7.2 version installed from
the package available on the Vagrant site and I did not get this error
when using that. Since I found that vagrant was available in the Debian
repositories,  I removed it and then installed it from Debian's repos
and started getting this error till I installed virtualbox-ext-pack.

Thanks & Regards,
Guruprasad
