<pre wrap="">This is an issue on both 4.3.18 (current testing vb version) and 4.3.20 to
which I upgraded.
There is a problem with installing debian on a new VM.
I downloaded jessie's small installer
(debian-jessie-DI-b2-i386-netinst.iso) and installed debian. The install
completed (I did a minimum install: just standard utilities and
openssh-server selected at tasksel).
The VM rebooted after completing the install and then without any command
the VM froze and the disk reads without stopping. I let it over 20 minutes
and it was still reading. During that time the VM console was frozen as well
as the Virtualbox manager. I killed both and then tried to start the VM
again: Both are frozen, showing the dialog box saying: starting virtual
machine, and the disk reads without stop.
I tried the whole procedure over 3 times: Everytime the same. I even tried
to snapshot the machine during the new install. I took during the install
several snapshots without problem, but after the dialog of setting up
partitions etc I pressed the snap button and the VM as well as the VB
manager froze, and the disk started reading without stopping.
I don't think its a disk fault (I/O errors etc) because kernel would show
something and in addition I tried reading the VM file (vdi) and it is read
without problem.</pre>

How much memory have you allocated to the Guest VM ?<br>
