Any word about the guest, is this Linux?
Yes, think so.
Also, when the GRUB menu is displayed, are you able to edit the command line of the OS you are about to boot?
Not able to edit the GRUB like other Linux distro. Attached image image_1.png

I see. It looks like GRUB doesn't find it's 2nd state file. Sounds to me like some disk geometry problem.

Could you also attach the disk descriptor file of that VM? There should be a small file describing the disk geometry.

I am not an expert so not really sure what are you looking at. Attached the screenshot(Screenshot.png) inside the virtual box folder. As well as 2 files LB1.vbox and LB1.vbox-prev

You said that you imported the VM from VMware. What I would actually need is a part of the OVF appliance, the part which describes the disk geometry, not the virtual disk file itself...

Please close this. After long waiting time, the image booted up successfully. Tested on 4.3.10 and 4.3.12.
