Debian Jessie not booting on VBox 6.0.24

Description

Hello,

Recently downloaded VirtualBox under Windows, and I'm struggling to run Debian 8.11.1 (Jessie) as my guest OS.

At the moment, I've tried to boot it from a DVD iso (after successful installation), but as soon as it's meant to login the screen prompts a message like "Something went wrong, and the system can't recover"...

I've read this might be due to VBox graphical settings, and that a VBoxSVGA controller was suggested in place of VMSVGA.

Almost nothing changed by enabling or disabling 3D acceleration...

Please, can you help?

Mine was the first installer from here: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/8.11.1/amd64/iso-dvd/

Thanks

Hi Antonin,

VirtualBox 6.0.24 is no longer supported. Try to update to the latest version (6.1.34 currently) from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. Don't forget to update Guest Additions as well (menu Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD image...).

If problem persists, please attach VBox.log.

Hi,

Actually I shouldn't switch to 6.1.x because I'll need desktop virtualization for my assignment...

Also, before trying out Jessie I was using Bullseye and I didn't encounter such an issue. So I can't figure out why it wouldn't work with an older dist :/

Hi Antonin,

I cannot help much with unsupported version, but maybe VBox.log could show more details.
