Vagrant box fails to boot properly

3

I've been trying to get a vagrant box up and running off of my Windows 8 computer using VirtualBox. vagrant up fails when it gets to connecting via ssh however. When I attempt to boot into GUI mode, I am presented with a blank black screen so I assume it's not an SSH problem per-say but an issue with the fact that the box won't even boot all the way in VirtualBox. Sadly, the same box works fine on another Windows 8 machine.

I have tried the following versions of VirtualBox:

  • 4.2.10
  • 4.2.12
  • 4.2.14

I have tried the following base boxes (config.vm.box = 'blah'):

  • base
  • precise32
  • precise64

Each one presents with the same issues. It'll get past the splash screen, sometimes show a recovery screen, and then go to a black screen with no HDD or Network activity shown in the status bar.

Any thoughts?

Increase the logging and see what error messages you get. http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/debugging.html

@spuder Thanks for your thought! I've done that, sadly the only additional info I get is that it is repeatedly trying to SSH in to the box and failing with timeouts/connection refused depending on the length of the timeout I add to the config. – GotDibbs – 2013-08-16T19:23:37.663

I had the same problem, but on a Mac. I tried sudo vagrant up and it worked. I then moved to another directory where I had the rights without sudo and it worked as well. Again, on a Mac not on Windows but check your permissions.
