Frank, (or any smart dev) I have attached the dmesg output and strace of the communications from the Archlinux guest that hopefully captures what the problem is after package updates on 1/27/20 left my 5.2 install unable to talk to each other in any reasonable way. It takes 10 minutes to boot a simple Archlinux guest to a basic text console. I am not great at interpreting the strace output, but the fact that ever simple communication between host and guest appears to take 12-18 seconds to complete -- corroborates with what I am seeing trying to run the guests. Both files are in the attached tar.xz file to save bandwidth (it's only 22k) Let me know if anything stands out or if there is something else I can try and grab. The vbox install I am using is from the AUR package I build for Arch (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-bin-5). I have built all versions listed above as well as default 5.2.36 - same behavior on each. After all the system downgrade tests -- I'm really stuck at this point. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
