Catalina 10.15.4 issue - machine fails to boot with startup error #52

Closed nycnewman closed 4 years ago

Error message below. WHat other information might you need to debug this?

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Importing base box 'macinbox'... ==> default: Generating MAC address for NAT networking... ==> default: Setting the name of the VM: 2-vagrant-files_default_1586646461190_52216 ==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces... ==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... default: Adapter 1: nat ==> default: Forwarding ports... default: 22 (guest) => 2222 (host) (adapter 1) ==> default: Running 'pre-boot' VM customizations... ==> default: Booting VM... ==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes... default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222 default: SSH username: vagrant default: SSH auth method: private key The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the 'paused' state. Please verify everything is configured properly and try again.

If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it, it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve. For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run vagrant up while the VirtualBox GUI is open.

The primary issue for this error is that the provider you're using is not properly configured. This is very rarely a Vagrant issue.

Turns out issue was related to VIrtualBox. 6.1.4 on MacOS 10.15.4 cannot start correctly when 32Gb or greater, or 6 virtual cores or greater allocated to instance.
