VirtualBox had been locking up the host machine when trying to start a
VM. The VM black screen would show, but it would lock before even
showing the BIOS boot message.
VirtualBox now starts VMs again, although they don't manage to power off
after shutdown. The process is stopped, but doesn't exit. The log
shows lots of 00:02:55.042 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005)
aIID={2d1a531b-4c6e-49cc-8af6-5c857b78b5d7} aComponent={Keyboard}
aText={The console is not powered up} aWarning=false, preserve=false.
/var/log/messages shows
warning: KLD '/boot/modules/vboxnetflt.ko' is newer than the linker.hints file
warning: KLD '/boot/modules/vboxnetadp.ko' is newer than the linker.hints file
Steps I took:
