When I open debian-6-boinc-server_trunk.vbox it loads to a black screen.

That's the last thing I see, then I get a black screen. What's going on?


Running:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Core i5-2500K
VirtualBox-4.3.10-93012-Win
debian-6-boinc-server-130327



Also, note sure if this is relevant but the VmServer guide says
"The OS is Debian 6 "Squeeze" (64-bit)" whereas mine is 32-bit, although it's from the package I downloaded on the VmServer page. It says "amd64" and I'm using an Intel chipset. Not sure if that matters either...

The debian6-boinc-server_trunk is indeed 64 bit but if I remember correct at the time of installation there was no distinction between 32-bit and 64-bit Debian in VirtualBox. But this is just a categorization issue.

I got my master version booted up correctly. I'm currently updating the VM to Debian 7 and latest BOINC sources. This will take some time to test and upload.

Any luck?

So far the update and test was successful. I just have to upload it next week when I have a better connection.

The new version was uploaded to the Berkeley server and is now available via the VmServer page. Please try this and report back if there are still some issues.

"VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot."

This is an easy to fix problem.

Activate your VT-x/AMD-V acceleration in your BIOS settings, maybe this was the reason why the old one also didn't start.

Before confusion arises, the Intel i5-2500K only has VT-x, which should be enabled in the BIOS.

It turned out being "vt-d" and "Intel Virtualization". Got it running, thank you!
