[Grml] grml virtualbox

Fri Apr 17 10:36:53 CEST 2015

Hi,

the message says: 'If your system hangs now, disable udev with
bootoption "noudev"'

Does adding boot option mgag200.modeset=0 help?

If this doesn't help either can you please test with a daily ISO
(from http://daily.grml.org/)?

As a last resort you can use the noudev boot option, but then plenty
of drivers won't be available in the running system. So it would be
interesting to identify why it fails for you.

regards,
-mika-
