I confirm I have the same issue.

Apparently goes black right after GRUB.

And you never got the chameleon? I have this but ten seconds later the chameleon appear.

Could you try to build the VM on your host to see if it's related to the VM build on my desktop.

[julien-duponchelle]

Perhaps it's related to the missing guest addition

I've done a new build on my PC using Packet 8.2 and VirtualBox 5.

It can be downloaded from http://we.tl/divmvuv8Nu

First thing I noticed is the default name is vm and not GNS3 VM but more interesting the 2 network adapters are different models. Should be both Intel.

By default nothing is attached to the second adapter (should be NAT).

and if I don't change anything regarding the network adapters, the VM boots but if I change the second adapter to NAT then I have the black screen.

When I import:

I will try to fix the NIC at build

A build with NIC fixed: https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/f939effecd936e353e7ad35ab85c4ed520150804101429/62a75f

Ctrl + Alt + F1 seem to fixe the issue. It's not the correct terminal selected by VirtualBox

I reopen because the fix for black screen broke the splashscreen :(

I see a black screen and the first time it starts It gives me an error cause it can't find a network interface, I manually select an existing host-only one and it starts up but it's just a black screen after grub thus I can't get it to connect to GNS3
