Help, virtualbox doesn’t work issue

[unicornx]

Virtualbox 4.0.4
VirtualKD 2.5.2
install WindowsXP on guest OS.

Due to automatic installation has failed, I tried Manual installation – B) Static patching (recommended)
After 4) Reboot your virtual machine and wait for the OS selection dialog. I can see the OS selection dialog, I select the VirtualKD item, but VirtualBox jump to a black screen and not continue.
Do you ever meet such issue and what’s the problem here?

My boot.ini:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS=”WinDBG–VirtualKD” /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=VM
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

VirtualBox is waiting for you to connect a debugger. Start VM monitor (vmmon/vmmon64) and select “run debugger”. Or use VisualDDK to debug directly from Visual Studio.

Thanks, my foolish, forgot to assign the windbg path. I assumed it would be launched automatically. Can we have a userguide, just for us freshman.

In fact, I am slowly writing a quickstart for complete beginners. Currently you can check out the old VisualDDK guide: http://visualddk.sysprogs.org/quickstart/
