For the BIOS, "failed to boot" means "media not there". The hard disk is there. As far as the BIOS is concerned, it's booting.

Makes sense

So... were you able to fix it?

Yup
Followed the rescue instructions and it looked like it failed. Restarted and it came up, but the display was horked. Restarted again and it's copacetic. Seamless mode still doesn't work, but fulscreen is good enough. -- Drew |

You'll have to...
reinstall the VBOX additions... again and let it compile the modules again. I've had zero problem with VBOX and seamless mode. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec |

With Unity?
The people I see reporting this same issue say it's with Unity and or distros based on Gnome 3. -- Drew |
|
|
Hmmm... funny.
I'll have to hold me nose and pretend it is an election year. I'd D/L it and run unity... and see. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec |

That's interesting
While I was looking through the other reports of this to see if there was any activity, someone mentioned a neat trick I didn't know was possible. In seamless mode you can drag a Windows program icon onto the Ubuntu launcher - assuming your launcher is working. -- Drew |

Hmmm I have it working.
I have seamless working and also the auto-resize guest working in non-seamless mode. Sorry. I don't know how to help, other than install the guest additions and restart completely (shutdown and start) Cheers. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec |

You got me back to useable, I'll take that, thanks
