[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#842508: base: Fresh install on virtualbox hangs on each boot (swap fails, cpu soft locks, setting preliminary keymap, etc.)

[Info Geek]

Package: base
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable



-- System Information:
Debian Release: 8.6
  APT prefers stable-updates
  APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)


-- Steps to reproduce --

1) Get stuff:
	1.1) debian-8.6.0-amd-DVD-1.iso
	1.2) VirtualBox-5.1.8-111374-Win.exe

2) Install using:
	*) Newly created .vdi (virtual disk with dynamic re-sizing, 30GB).
	*) Murican keyboard (Keyboard layout selection in install).
	*) Guided partitioning.
	*) Use network mirror (to update installation).
	*) UTC clock.
	*) Allow shadow, allow root login, no extra users.
	*) Load usb module-driver-thingy (default option on install enabled by default).
	*) Uncheck all software packages (do not install anything, no desktop environment, no system utilities, no print server etc.)
	*) Slap GRUB onto master boot record; do not enforce EFI.
	*) Finish.

3) Try to boot and see it hanging for a few minutes during boot because of random problems.

*4) Possibly install random packages to eliminate "CPU#X stuck for Xs":

firmware-linux-free
intel-microcode


-- Fun facts --
/etc/fstab has correct UUID. You can even uncomment the whole line, same thing.
