[Bug 492837] [NEW] Blank screen in virtualbox guest - says "running"

[Ed Iglehart]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

I have set up a guest ubuntu kartmic using virtualbox-ose (same result
in VirtualBox from sun website), and it opens, but just sits there with
a black screen - no input or output, but in the title bar it says
"running"....

I have the kermic iso stored on my host hdd mounted as a 'floppy image'
Before that I was getting a fatal "no bootable..." error.  I also have
downloaded the 'guest additions' which are mounted as a cdrtom image.

Running ubuntu karmic (9.10) UNR on an asus netbook 1005HA with 2Gb RAM
