I created a KVM virtual machine with the following specs.



As soon as I startup the Ubuntu 12.04 KVM it will hang at this.



Then I changed the video driver from default to default standard vga I got this error. If I clicked out of it, it proceeds to apply the change desired.



After changing the display settings I am able to start up Ubuntu 12.04 just fine. It seems to be working fine even allowing me to apply all of the updates available for Ubuntu 12.04. I have rebooted a few times and no more hang ups. But as soon as I set the display back to default it will hang during boot up with the same error.

Did you find any solution?

Just switch from the default display setting to standard vga to get it to boot up just fine. I have also tried using spice and it works equally well.

Thanks. I changed the display setting.

I had a similar problem with a guest Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and Kernel 3.13.0-37-generic x86_64.
I convert the vm from vmWare Player format to raw and started it. During startup, the VNC connection stopped respondig, but the vm was booting properly (I could do a login via SSH).
The position during the boot sequence, when VNC did hang changed and sometimes it finished completely.
Although VNC seems to hang, I was able to send a Ctrl-Alt-Delete key to reboot the vm.

After changing the Display to "Standard VGA", all the problems are gone.
Thanks for the solution!

BR,
Jasmin
