10684,VirtualBox takes hours to boot machine on Intel,jared.harder,,"Recently installed Solaris 11 11/11 and VirtualBox 4.1.16.  First guest that I set up was going to be Win7 64-bit, but it took forever to even get to boot from the install media.  It's been nearly 24 hours and it's still on the ""Windows is loading files..."" progress bar (100%, waiting to launch the installer).  Below are my guest and host specs.  I'm running VB as root right now, but it had the same functionality as a user, except it threw an exception when using passthrough mode on the BluRay drive (and wouldn't boot from the DVD with it disabled).

VirtualBox version: 4.1.16 r78094
Solaris version: Oracle Solaris 11 11/11

VirtualBox VM specs:
OS: Win7 64-bit (ideally, if it installs)
Memory: 11264MB
CPU: 1, 100% execution cap
CPU acceleration: VT-x/AMD-v, nested paging disabled
Video: 24MB memory, 1 display, no 3D acceleration, no remote server
Storage: 25GB dynamic VMDK stored on zpool, BD drive with passthrough
Audio: disabled
Network: 1 port enabled, NAT
Serial, USB, Shared Folders all disabled/defaults

Host specs:
Motherboard: Intel DX79SI
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820
Memory: G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB
Boot drive: OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-60G
Data drive: 5.54TB zpool with 6 hard drives using raidz2 (drives of various sizes including 1TB, 1.5TB, and 2TB)
RAID card: SIL-3114 raid controller. I had to flash this card with an IDE-only firmware to get Solaris to pick up my drives, then in the format utility I had to specify the numbers so I could use the drive. There are 2 drives connected to this, the other 6 SATA devices (5 hard drives, optical drive) are connected directly to the motherboard)
Optical drive: LG BluRay burner
VT-x is enabled in the BIOS

Not sure what logs you'll need to help me troubleshoot this.  Let me know and I'll provide them.",defect,closed,VMM,VirtualBox 4.1.16,obsolete,slow boot intel,,other,Solaris
