Looks like with released fix VM boot speed has decreased drastically: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1567265
On my system with VirtualBox 5.0.24 recent image (from https://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/, dated 20160725) with enabled UART boots till "Btrfs loaded" string in 105 seconds, and with disabled in under 7 seconds. While enabled UART change fixes booting, it significantly reduces likelihood of image usage due to very slow boot speed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546108 Title: Latest Vagrant box for Ubuntu Xenial is failing to boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1546108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
