Hi Rickard, To verify the "headless Flase" mode i tried this on windows 2016 host VM as well. but as soon i attach the iso the VM gets crashed with no updates.
BTW "--on-error=ask" was not of much help. as it never asked for any input. and the last few lines of output from VBOX.log is here. 00:00:00.394503 ******************* End of VT-x features ******************** 00:00:00.396851 PcBios: ATA LUN#0 LCHS=1024/255/63 00:00:00.396924 APIC: fPostedIntrsEnabled=false fVirtApicRegsEnabled=false fSupportsTscDeadline=false 00:00:00.396933 TMR3UtcNow: nsNow=1 565 703 281 470 031 000 nsPrev=0 -> cNsDelta=1 565 703 281 470 031 000 (offLag=0 offVirtualSync=0 offVirtualSyncGivenUp=0, NowAgain=1 565 703 281 470 031 000) 00:00:00.396945 VMEmt: Halt method global1 (5) 00:00:00.396986 VMEmt: HaltedGlobal1 config: cNsSpinBlockThresholdCfg=2000 00:00:00.397019 Changing the VM state from 'CREATING' to 'CREATED' 00:00:00.403717 Changing the VM state from 'CREATED' to 'POWERING_ON' 00:00:00.404306 Changing the VM state from 'POWERING_ON' to 'RUNNING' 00:00:00.404319 Console: Machine state changed to 'Running' 00:00:00.410651 VMMDev: Guest Log: BIOS: VirtualBox 6.0.4 00:00:00.410980 PCI: Setting up resources and interrupts 00:00:00.411473 PIT: mode=2 count=0x10000 (65536) -
